The Scorecard is an online trove of federal data that can help prospective students choose the college that's right for them – and, just maybe, avoid a lifetime of student debt and heartache.  The site, collegescorecard.ed.gov, can tell you a lot about a school – from its and the earnings of former students, to how much debt you can expect to take on.  The updated scorecard lets you compare schools based on graduates' earnings, then see how those earnings compare to workers without a degree. It even shows how well a school serves its low-income students.
