I'm looking for a good online source for enrollment data (better than Wikipedia - that won't work because it doesn't say what year the data is for).

*sigh* I used to have one, but I can't find the link anywhere.

Need something better than the OPE site?

OPE only does undergraduate enrollments. Even then, it's sometimes wrong. For 2006, UND submitted their total enrollment instead of their undergrad. There's no way of knowing how many other universities made the same mistake. I'd also like to know about a convenient site for this type of data.

The odd thing about the OPE and NCES is that they are still showing 2005 numbers. I got 2006 data from some site called www.collegeboard.com (http://www.collegeboard.com). I was a little leery and checked it versus Princeton Review for the first dozen schools (I'd have used Princeton review but you have to do a separate search for the grad v undergrad number).

They must have changed the reporting requirements for the OPE reports because they haven't been updated in a year and a half.

Use the IPED stuff.

It's the same dataset institutions use to compare one another.

Correct! ;)
