Sticker price isn't what most families pay. This list sorts by the average a student who got federal aid paid for a year after grants and scholarships. At public colleges it covers in-state students. Out-of-state students pay more, so those rows also show an out-of-state estimate: the in-state figure plus the extra tuition.
