The Blue Bridge in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Just a few more days until we head west on our road trip to the Grand Canyon. This will probably be the last newsletter for several weeks while we're away on vacation. As I mentioned in the last update, we went and visited Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, and that turned out to be well worth a visit. I put together a visual collage of photos, audio, and a brief summary of our quick tour there. Hope you enjoy it!

Data, Data, Data

A few links to sites which allow you to take quantitative deep dives. The first one, College Scorecard, is free and part of the U.S. Department of Education. The other ones have limited free versions but some are easier to use than others. I signed up for the U.S. News' College Compass service and will be writing more about that in future updates.
