TOP 10 OF THE TOP 200
Making the right college choice depends on having the right information - that's why we put so much effort into
researching our Top 200 schools. When you take the time to understand how to get the data you want from those pages,
you'll be able to "comparison shop" based on real information about what's important to you. Do you want a school
that has a significant proportion of Native students? What about one where Native students stick around to graduate?
Here are some examples of how you can set up comparisons, looking at the top 10 schools in some popular categories.
