[email protected]Frequently Asked Questions
Is IHateCollege.com anti-education?
No. We're pro-education, anti-debt. We believe there are multiple paths to a successful career, and a four-year degree is just one of them. Trade schools, apprenticeships, certifications, and self-education are all valid paths that we highlight.
How do you rank colleges?
Our rankings are based on data from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, including net cost, median debt, 10-year earnings, graduation rates, and repayment rates. We also incorporate community ratings from real students and graduates.
Can I post a job on the job board?
Yes. Job postings are free and live for 30 days. We focus on jobs that don't require a four-year degree — government, trades, tech, healthcare, and business. Create a free account and post at our job board.
How can I submit a rating for my school?
Visit our Rate My School page. You can rate anonymously or with your username. We collect data on debt pain levels, mental health impact, and overall satisfaction to help incoming students make informed decisions.
Where does your data come from?
Financial data comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard API, which is updated annually. Student debt figures reference the Federal Reserve. Community ratings come from our users. All data sources are cited on relevant pages.
