Comments: |
It’s always nice to have a single access point for various information sources and large free web resources such as: economic macro data (e.g. exchange rates), U.S. IIE open door report data, and educational system descriptions (NAFSA). From our perspective, a significant value can be the list of schools, in particular, in countries such as China. The address lists alone are a starting point. Additional data points and descriptions of the schools would significantly enhance the value.

3 in current state (a much higher rating 5 or 6 if the local school listings become more robust with additional information and statistics on each school) |
