I don’t know why you are so threatened by the notion that NYU is not for everyone, and that there are some very real considerations one must make before deciding to attend there (much like any school). Oh, and that it’s expensive and the financial aid sucks. It has nothing to do with state schools — both of my kids are at privates. [/quote]

PP I am new poster. I think all the top schools that are private cost about the same and have a lot of rich kids. I also think the rich kids self segregate are most schools. Is it being in NY that makes you perceive NYU as so expensive??  The NYU jet set is with kids at top schools from other cities doing the same activities so I am confused?  I don’t know that a kid in Boston, LA or philly (whatever city) is spending less.  [/quote]
Yes, being in NY is incredibly expensive and the fact that NYU’s endowment is tiny compared to other schools of similar cost so the financial aid is poor so it is very hard for middle to upper middle class students to attend.[/quote]

I did not see an appreciable difference having kids at different schools in other major cities. They all spent a lot but we are not on aid so maybe it would have been different if we were in aid. [/quote]

Interesting. I have one at Barnard and one at Penn and the difference is pretty stark. [/quote]

How so? I'd be interested in hearing.

Barnard is in the city, so it's expensive. But kids at Penn are unbelievably wealthy and it's hard for a middle class kid to keep up with that crowd. [/quote]
