Proximity Search FAQ
How do you calculate the distance?
We use the Haversine formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points on a sphere (the Earth) using their latitude and longitude coordinates. This provides a high-accuracy 'as the crow flies' distance.
Is my location data safe?
Yes, your location is processed entirely on your device using the browser's Geolocation API. We never send your coordinates to our servers or store them. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed.
Why are some colleges missing distance?
We are actively updating our database with precise coordinates for over 300+ colleges. If a college doesn't have latitude/longitude data yet, it won't appear in the proximity results until mapped.
How accurate is the 'Colleges Near Me' tool?
The accuracy depends on your device's GPS or network location accuracy. Usually, it's accurate within a few meters for GPS-enabled devices and slightly less for desktop browsers using IP-based location.
