Lower-income families get the best breaks, with those earning under $30,000 paying just $19,731 annually. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay around $22,513. Over four years, expect total costs between $79,000-$91,000 for most students.

Graduates typically leave with $27,000 in debt, translating to $286 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $49,714 median salary ten years out. The small liberal arts college puts 31% of students on institutional grants averaging $27,563. Students from families earning under $48,000 get the sweetest deal here, with net prices below $20,000.
