College Navigator Web site
The U.S. Department of Education's Web site for information about colleges and universities, has been named by Money magazine as "the best first screen" for researching higher education institutions. Navigator was cited in the publication's December 4, 2007, issue, which rated the Top 28 Web sites in seven categories -- one of which was college search tools. Money notes that the Web site, unlike many other college search tools, is not tied to any marketing department seeking students' personal information. It also credits the Web site for being "one of the simplest" to use, for having "a good comparison tool," and for providing "a full set of the latest data on expenses, aid, enrollment, admission and graduation rates, majors, and more, along with a Google map pinpointing location." Launched in September, Navigator is one of several agency resources developed to supply the public with clear and reliable information on the college selection process and federal financial aid.
