What's up everyone? I'm a high school junior, planning to apply to NYU next year, but I'm a bit concerned about the costs. Can any current or former NYU students give me an overview of the total cost (including tuition, room, and board) for attending NYU?
Hello! NYU is indeed known for its high costs, but getting an accurate picture of expenses can be helpful when preparing to apply. For the 2024-2025 academic year, NYU's estimated cost of attendance is broken down as follows:
1. Tuition and Fees: $62,796
2. Room and Board: $24,652
3. Books and Supplies: $1,442
4. Transportation: $2,342
5. Personal Expenses: $1,952
So, the total estimated cost of attendance for a year is about $93,184. Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate, and personal expenses and transportation costs will vary depending on individual needs and preferences. Additionally, it's important to take into account annual increases in tuition and living expenses, which are common at most universities.
Don't forget that financial aid is an option for many students. You should fill out the FAFSA to see what federal aid you qualify for and use NYU's net price calculator to get an estimate of the financial aid package you could receive from the university.
NYU also offers merit-based scholarships, so determine your eligibility and explore those opportunities. Keep in mind that financial aid and scholarships may greatly reduce the cost you pay out-of-pocket. Good luck with your application process!
