34 colleges in Puerto Rico with an average net price under $30,000 a year, ranked by what families actually pay after aid. Cheapest: Caribbean University-Bayamon at $4,665.
Net price is the average a family pays after grant aid — not the published sticker price. Figures come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard. Schools granting only associate degrees are excluded, so a community college appears here only if it also awards bachelor's degrees.
