- These figures come from the 2021-22 school year, the most recent federal net price data. Prices have risen since.
- Each figure is an average across families who received federal aid, so one family's price can differ with merit aid, residency, or program.
- The figures include housing, meals, books, and personal expenses, unlike published tuition figures.
- At public colleges these figures cover in-state students only.
- † Average covers fewer than 30 students.
