Does anyone know if there is a good way/place to compare colleges besides combing through their websites and looking at the stats in Naviance and USNews rankings?

We are trying to compare UIUC, RIT, UMNTC for the CS and physics programs. Are there any obvious advantages to either one on the academics and opportunities(connections, undergrad research, etc.) part?

Also (less important but still curious) is S’s standing for them:
GPA: 3.7UW/4.1W
SAT: 2090 (will try ACT in Oct)
top 40% of the class (very competitive public HS)
EC: not much, just regular things (robotics club (US First), judo (till sophomore year), about 100 hrs volunteering, Russian lit classes, various programming projects on his own)

And he will be OOS for all 3.

Thanks!!!
