Internships often pay for housing.

Not sure about NYU, but at a nearby university, a meal plan covered dining and drink.

To and from airport is usually by subway, approximately $10-15 to JFK and Newark; $3, La Guardia. There were times when we resorted to Uber for safety reasons.

There is no subway to
LaGuardia. For JFK you have to get off and then switch to Uber or bus. For Newark you have to go to
Penn station before you can get on the subway and even that costs money. And FWIW what parent would want their kid in the subways in NYC now?

Internet search is your friend. For JFK, you take A train from NYU straight to Howard beach and then transfer to the Air train, it's right at the subway station there. It's faster than Uber.

My kids take NYC subways every day.

Yup. Most of us do. The person who acted like they were scary just doesn't know the city.

I lived in Manhattan in my 20s. I feel like most people would take a shuttle or a cab to the airport. I guess it really depends on your time and budget. And of course I took the subway and buses often. I usually took cabs at night home. Who wants to ride the subway in heels?

I should have said I went to NYU for grad school and also lived in NYC in my 20s.

After graduation, your daughter gets stuck in New York, because ew, why go back to the sticks? You will be subsidizing her apartment for the next ten years while she waits for her underwater basket weaving career to take off.

This. 400k for gender studies or some such nonsense.

This is same for any other more elite schools.

Imagine you are a middle class, so didn't get any aid, majoring in gender studies, theater, etc. at Princeton or Yale

Middle class get aid at those top institutions. Mine did. I think the aid there is significantly better than nyu. They also have good job prospects in these fields. Mine is in theatre. Don't knock what you don't know!

What's your definition of middle class.
I go by data not by some isolated claims on internet.

Looks like a T20 school Northwestern is one of the top schools for theatre.
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?147767-Northwestern-University&fos_code=5005&fos_credential=3

it's like minumum wage.

Yes, got excellent aid there too. As for theatre, you really don't get it. Why can't you just do you and leave things you don't know to the people who are in the field?

Of course I don't know about many other fields.
Thus I go by references, sources, and data to learn more.
Theatre major has one of worst ROI according to them.
Please provide any source, reference, or data that tells otherwise.

NYU is a great choice if you major in business(STERN), CS, and many of STEM

if you are a middle class need to worry about cost, and major in useless worthless stuff, then watch out

OP is asking for the all-in cost as of today, not when the dinosaurs were roaming in their 20s.

Most students can schedule their flights to land when they can utilize the subway.
