Our latest platform improvements are all about helping students make more informed postsecondary decisions and take more efficient steps towards their goals.
Read on to learn about our new College Comparison tool, all of the new community college data we've added, and our redesigned playbooks + tasks features.
See how schools stack up, side-by-side
With our newly released College Comparison tool, students can easily see how multiple schools stack up against each other when it comes to:
- Graduation Rate
- Net Cost
- Median Earnings for graduates
- 10-Year ROI
- Size
- Setting
- And more
Students can adjust the way each metric is weighted according to what they care most about, then ask Lubav questions to better understand each point of comparison.
Try this tool out to see how it supports students in making postsecondary decisions with more confidence. It's available with a free Backrs account.

Data on Community Colleges is now live!
Our Explore Universities tool just got a whole lot more expansive: We've added in data from hundreds of two-year colleges as well as hundreds of trade and certificate granting institutions across the country.
This means students interested in attending community college can now review 10-Year ROI, credentials awarded, and more, all in one place.
Simply click on the "Explore Universities" tool, click "More Filters," and then click, "Two Year" and/or "Trade & Certificate" to dig in. This is also available with a free Backrs account.
Keep progress organized with notes on tasks
Our playbooks turn students' post-secondary and career plan into a series of achievable steps that will keep them on the right path.
With our latest release, students can now add reflections or quick thoughts to each step in any of their playbooks using our notes or sticky notes features.
This not only helps students stay better organized, but it also provides our AI assistant coach more context so it can help you provide more targeted guidance.
Explore our improved playbooks today! Yep, these are available with a free Backrs account too!
