Project Demo: haoyan.info

Introduction

This application lets you find the 10 universities in every state that have the highest annual cost of attendance and the 10 universities with the highest median annual earning 2 years after graduate. To view a state's school data, click on that state on the map interface.

Data Source

This application uses data provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The API endpoint is provided here. Both cost of attendance and earning data is collected in 2018.

API Key

The file containing API Key is gitignored. If you want to run this project locally, you could get a key from U.S. Department of Education. Then, create file src/APIs/ApiKeys.js and edit it to include:

export const schoolDataApiKey =   // API key here

Library Usage

The map is created using React Simple Maps.

Some styling are done using React BootStrap.
