[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have an exact figure because it was not normal times, but can give you an estimate.  Everyone says NYU is stingy, but it hasn’t been our experience.  My DD has a scholarship that is 38k per year, but she also received half cost off of any summer or J term classes.  She lived in dorm for first 3 years until interrupted by pandemic in spring 2020.  They refunded tuition for rest of that semester. She took advantage of an additional one time scholarship offered to all students for reduced load during remote courses and that was on top of her normal scholarship.  Then she got very sick in 4th year and had to take time off and they held her scholarship open for her and gave it for 5th year. When she went back last summer before rental prices went up, she snagged a very inexpensive studio on one of NYU shuttle bus lines.  She used the shuttle almost exclusively vs Lyft, etc.  She worked every year and covered most of her regular expenses not covered in in dorm or meal plan. When in her apartment, I paid rent and groceries, but not eating out or other costs.  Apartment was equivalent to dorm cost.

The most expensive year was $48,000 and three of years were more like $38,000.  But she has an extra semester at about $20,00.  So all in cost was about $200,000 in tuition, room, board and basics.  She had to be pretty frugal, but loved her time there with friends, being in NYC and had great adventures.  I was reluctant to let her apply because of NYU’s reputation for scholarships, but she ended up getting more scholarship $s from NYU than other schools except one that was not as good a fit and much lower ranked in her major.  There have been some really great professors, administrators and advisors along the way and some just fair. The whole experience, especially the ability to do in person internships, was marred by pandemic, so it is hard to say whether or not it was worth it from a financial standpoint.  Guess the next couple of years will tell in the job market. [/quote]

This just isn't the norm at all.[/quote]
