Modeled on Zillow, Edmit Wants to Help Families Make Financially Savvier College Decisions - Tina Nazerian , EdSurge

Edmit wants to do for college-shopping what Zillow is for homes and what Truecar is for automobiles. Startups can be smitten with analogies, so this is what Nick Ducoff, the Boston-based startup’s cofounder, aims to do: help students make financially savvier decisions about where to go to college. The tool lets users compare how much their peers are paying at different institutions. “We’re hoping that by using our site, students and families will find that college is more attainable, and more colleges are attainable than they may otherwise think,” says Ducoff. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-11-21-modeled-on-zillow-edmit-wants-to-help-families-make-financially-savvier-college-decisions
