Feds’ website enables college-tuition comparisons

Ben Wolfgang:

Can’t decide between that prestigious culinary school or the community college down the street? A new online tool created by the Department of Education could help students make that decision, with detailed price comparisons for colleges and universities of all types across the country.
If you’re looking to go to school for free, New York’s Webb Institute could fit the bill – if you’re lucky enough to get in. The naval architecture and engineering school has only 80 undergraduates, all of whom get full scholarships, making the annual tuition price $0.
