"As a longtime proponent of transparency in higher education, I consider U-CAN a breakthrough. This online resource gives consumers access to meaningful, comparable information that will empower their educational decision-making. Modeled after many of the consumer tools I and other members of Congress proposed in 2004, U-CAN provides a starting point for transparency that can and should be embraced by the higher education community as a whole."
-- Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Ranking Member,
Committee on Education and Labor, U.S. House of Representatives

"The college search should be about finding the "right fit" for each student and U-CAN is an ideal tool to help make this happen. Students and parents can decide how to use the valuable data to evaluate colleges based on their values, not someone else's ranking system. U-CAN is the answer to the consumer plea for help in finding information about colleges in an easy, one-stop site. I'm happy to be able to recommend it as a resource."
-- Martha O'Connell, Executive Director, Colleges That Change Lives

George Mason High School (Falls Church, Va.)
