What Indiana costs

After grants and scholarships the range runs from $14,600 at Purdue University-Main Campus to $42,513 at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. That spread is the reason a sticker price is a poor way to build a list in Indiana.
Why net price beats sticker price, and what an average one does and does not tell a particular family.
