Where the data comes from

• Graduation, earnings, debt, cost and majors for US schools come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard. Earnings are the median for students who received federal aid, measured 10 years after they started college.
• Merit scholarships were checked against each school's own financial aid pages in November 2026. They cover first-year students from out of state or outside the country. Every card links to its source.
• International schools use each university's published tuition, scholarships and degree length. The U.S. Federal Student Aid list shows which ones accept US federal loans.
• Sports come from each school's athletics and club sports websites (2025–26), with women's and men's teams shown separately. Varsity means a team run by the athletics department. Club means a student-run team. Rowing was checked school by school. The other team lists haven't all been checked against each school's athletics site yet, so confirm a team before relying on it. Schools abroad mostly have university clubs rather than varsity teams, and only their rowing has been checked.
• Weather uses typical monthly average highs for the nearest city. Admit rates, Greek life and study abroad shares are approximate, from recent published figures.

Numbers change every year and some are estimates. Check a school's own pages before you decide anything. where.school isn't affiliated with any college.
