What Louisiana costs

After grants and scholarships the range runs from $12,384 at University of New Orleans to $39,949 at Tulane University of Louisiana. That spread is the reason a sticker price is a poor way to build a list in Louisiana.
Why net price beats sticker price, and what an average one does and does not tell a particular family.
