College Comparison Worksheet

Reviewed & updated by Updated Originally published

The College Comparison Worksheet Generator gives students and parents an easy way to organize information about different colleges before making a decision. Start with the Student Details tab and enter the student’s name, current school, graduation year, intended major, and any important priorities. These priorities might include affordable tuition, a particular degree program, campus housing, location, or other things that matter when researching colleges.

Next, open the Colleges tab and add the institutions you want to compare. For each college, you can enter its location, program or major, tuition and fees, estimated living costs, scholarships or financial aid, admission requirements, application deadline, application status, housing information, and personal notes.

The worksheet automatically calculates the estimated net annual cost using the financial information you provide. Use Compare & Review to see the cost figures together, then check the completed worksheet in the live preview. When everything looks right, you can print the worksheet, save it as a PDF, or download the comparison data for Excel.
