So I just saw an update in the Chronicle of Higher Education that the US Department of Education has unveiled a replacement for its old College Scorecard, under the same name. I haven't had a chance to really play with it yet, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been mentioned on the forum yet, so here's a chance for y'all to play with it, too.
The College Scorecard site is at https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/
The CHE article about it (not sure if it's behind their paywall) is at http://chronicle.com/article/White-House-Unveils-College/233073/
The most interesting thing, at first glance: It has post-collegiate earnings information that (according to the documentation) comes from tax returns of students who had received federal student aid while in college, which isn't a perfect sample but at least has to be better than PayScale's data.
