Common Dataset
" The Common Data Set (CDS) was developed through collaboration among publishers of college guides, colleges and universities, representatives of higher education organizations, high school counselors, and the National Center for Education Statistics. Many of the items and definitions in the Common Data Set are used on the fall surveys of several major publishers. The goal of the CDS is to improve the comparability of data reported by colleges and to ease each institution's burden through asking questions in a standard way across numerous surveys. We make our response to the Common Data Set available online to show how we reported these data."
Includes some data not in the factbook, such as: class sizes; financial aid; student life; distribution of high school units required/recommended.
