Editorial Policy

How Find College in USA researches, writes, and updates content for students and families.

Our mission

We help international students and U.S. families compare American colleges using transparent data and practical guidance. We are an independent publisher — not a university, agency, or government body.

Sources we use

  • U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard and IPEDS
  • Official university websites for programs, contacts, and policy links
  • USCIS and SEVP public materials for visa-related guides (verified against current publications)

U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, IPEDS, and official university websites. Editorial summaries are written or reviewed by our education editorial team and updated when source data changes.

How university profiles are written

Each profile combines:

  1. Verified federal metrics (tuition, acceptance rate, graduation rate, enrollment, earnings where available)
  2. Editorial summaries written by our education team, tied to those metrics — not generic filler
  3. FAQ and quick-summary blocks generated from factual modules, then reviewed for clarity

We may use assisted drafting tools for first drafts; a human editor checks accuracy, tone, and compliance before publication. Profiles that lack sufficient federal data remain out of search indexes until they meet our quality bar.

Updates and corrections

Federal data is refreshed on a regular sync schedule. Guides are reviewed when immigration or admissions rules change materially.
