"Cool" website for college hunters

Do you have a student at home who's thinking of attending university in the United States?

If so, here's a website that may provide some assistance: COOL: the College Opportunities Online Locator. (via Wonkette.com, in a funny-but-sad posting on blooper from US Ed Secretary Margaret Spellings, who admitted she had a hard time finding information on universities for her daughter.)

A service of the US Department Education's National Center for Education Statistics, COOL allows students and parents to search for US universities by location, major, and/or type of degree. According to the site, visitors will be able to "see and compare profiles of nearly 7,000 colleges and universities across the nation."
