<p>Most universities/colleges have a reciprocal arrangement with others- for example, for Penn faculty they will pay 60% of Penn's tuition (40% of 32k is still a big chunk o' change), and 40% of Penn's tuition elsewhere. Getting into Penn even for faculty kids is very difficult. Check out whether NYU faculty have this kind of arrangement. It would soften the blow for other schools.</p>
<p>NYU, i believe, gives 100% tuition remission for faculty</p>
<p>NYU would be a great choice, and the Village is a great neighborhood. Living in Manhattan is an education in itself, though perhaps if you are in the metro area it's not such a big deal for you.</p>
<p>One thing to check on is whether there are any reciprocity agreements with NYU. Sometimes, multiple colleges agree to a mutual tuition waiver for faculty offspring.</p>
<p>Debt avoidance is a really good thing, and if you can pull it off and still attend a school like NYU, that's a real deal.</p>
<p>I agree with everyone who have said that NYU would be the best choice. Really, it is an outstanding university and you have the opportunity to not pay tuition, probably the thing that keeps most of the students that do not attend NYU and wanted from doing so.</p>
<p>on another note (i think someone posted it already...but...) say if you have one of your parents working (a faculty) at NYU (medical school), will that be counted as legacy?...i thought legacy meant if you had parents or relatives that actually went to the school...in any case, would that increase the chances of getting accepted? and if so...really to what extent? thanks</p>
