Is there an existing dataset showing the mean (or, better, median) price paid (net of discounts) by students for each combination of college, course and matriculation year?

I'm really interested in this stuff, and I did some Googling along these lines. The most useful thing I've found so far is this "Common Data Set" initiative[1] that essentially has colleges fill out a form covering basic summary statistics (e.g. total dollars given in financial aid, number of students admitted, etc). You can look up "common data set [college name here]," and probably find their version of the form.

I'll try and do some more research and maybe analyze some of the CDS data tomorrow. If you find anything interesting, please post it as well!

Even mean and median aren't that informative as the distribution is probably non-Gaussian. A distribution incentives or even deciles would give a much clearer picture.
