如果这些数据准确度很高，那么节省了很多时间，对初步选校很有帮助。直接搜，不用去学校主页再找学院主页最好找系的主页那么麻烦了。

不过我对这些数据有疑问。拿student body来说吧，我在FU系主页上看到的明明是20+的学生，怎么到这里是16了呢。莫非这是过时数据。

还是以学校主页的为准吧. 官方数据嘛..

不过peterson有学校主页查不到的数据哦。比如学生组成的具体数据~

最好的方式还是发email给学校的相关人员（小秘或协调人），他们的回复是准确的。绝大部分学校都会回信。

恩，谢谢大叔~我前几天给我初选的50所学校挨个发邮件问数据的情况。回复率不太高，50%左右吧~

这些集中管理／统计的数据，很容易不准确的．
