EduPursuit is a college-finding tool that uses the Google Maps API to plot American colleges and universities on a map. Rather than search for a college by name, EduPursuit requires that you type in your ZIP code. Then, you can narrow down your search by:
Distance: between 5 miles and 100 miles
Type: public, private, or both
Setting: city, town, suburb, rural, or all
Years: 2-year, 4-year, or both
Size: between less than 500 to over 10, 000
EduPursuit claims its database contains over four thousand colleges and universities across the United States. It also claims to offer useful articles on the college application process, though I can only find a link to one on the site.
