Many private schools will be in the range of $20,000 - $30,000, but give generous 4-year scholarships and sometimes partial tuition waivers if you're a good student.
In general, though, I would say anything under $10,000/year is rather inexpensive. $10,000 to about $22,000 is average and generally reasonable. Above that and it might be fairly expensive, but again, these are the schools that usually give out the most money in student aid and it will probably significantly reduce your student bill.

$13,000-$17,000 is reasonable but getting close to costly (if in state).
Where I attend school (a very nice 4-year university) is under $10,000 for tuition & room&board. If I were to include books and meals, it costs me between $11,000-$12,000.
Where I go is definitely considered reasonably cheap, especially for a nice school.
Anything under $15,000 could technically be considered reasonable and rather cheap for a nice college.
In-state schools are always cheaper than out of state schools (unless you're looking at private colleges - those are the same and usually in the high $30,000). [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
