We've looked at the most expensive college in each US state — with Massachusetts' Simon's Rock being the priciest, at $63,585 a year — but which colleges will cost you the least?
Using TheBestSchools' 2022 ranking of the most affordable four-year colleges, we mapped the cheapest places to go to college in each of the 50 states. TheBestSchools' ranking isn't according to tuition fees alone; rather, the site calculated affordability by looking at each college's average yearly net price for undergrads — based on total student costs after scholarships and select other financial awards, and including fees, books, room and board and so on.
Key Findings:
-
Of the colleges mapped, the cheapest overall is Florida's Indian River State College, which will set you back just $588 for a year of study.
-
The priciest of the colleges overall is found in Vermont. The state's cheapest college, Northern Vermont University, costs the average undergrad a net price of $15,399 a year.
