Did you see: “What College Students Need to Know”
from Obama 2012 Blog
An editorial in this weekend's New York Times looks at one part of President Obama's plan to make college more affordable and make sure students have the information they need when choosing a school:

"The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away. An initiative started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited, and far too easily gamed, indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college stacks up against its competitors nationally on important metrics like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to incur by graduation day."
