Which colleges cost the least for families earning $75,000-$110,000?

Question

Accepted Answer

Net price is what students actually paid after grants and scholarships were applied — not the sticker price. It is the only cost figure worth comparing across schools, because two colleges advertising the same tuition can be $20,000 apart once aid lands.
