Purpose: compare individual institutions against the student's needs.
Copy the institution record below for each candidate. Use the same
academic year, enrollment load and living arrangement for every comparison.
Record unknowns as UNRESOLVED, never as zero. All costs are annual unless
explicitly labeled otherwise; record the currency.
