Talking points
- CampusPin is filter-first. Schools surface based on what students search for (cost, programs, location, fit) — not opinion-based rankings.
- We publish a Net Price Estimator at /tools/net-price-estimator and a glossary at /glossary as free reference resources.
- Tuition data may lag the most recent academic year by 1–2 cycles depending on the IPEDS reporting schedule. We always link to each school's official website for verification.
- CampusPin does not sell student data, does not gate basic search behind a paywall, and is not a ranking publisher.
