Cooper Union 2014 international student

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am an Australian HS student who is applying to the school of art. I am wondering if CU has actually accepted any international student who live outside of United State. Is it highly unlikely for me, who lives outside of US (and have not attended the national portfolio day) to be selected by the school of art??? </p>

<p>Has CU offered any place to any international applicants in the past?</p>

<p>International Students are very welcomed at cooper we actually have quite a few. We also do exchange with some of the strongest art schools around the world. Definitely apply.</p>

<p>Hey artistengineer!! </p>

<p>It’s such a delight for me to see somebody active on CU forum again! </p>

<p>As a Chinese kid attending a high school in Dallas, I’ll be applying to CU this fall, and I wonder if there’s any int’l student at CU who actually receive FA on top of full(now half) tuition waiver.
(The max I can pay is 30000$…Now CU starts charging 20000$ for tuition, plus another 20000$ living expense (correct me if I’m wrong), 40000$ can be burdensome for me.
Therefore I need that 10000$ FA!!! )
Or, are there any ways you can significantly reduce your living expense down to 10000$/year in NYC?</p>

<p>I have another concern: Is it possible for you to get a well-rounded education at Cooper Union?
According to Curriculum | Cooper Union , there seems to be some “core” requirements at CU. Are they generally taken seriously? How’s the quality of humanity and social sciences education?
My problem is that I’m like 80% sure about engineering, but I don’t want my career to be just hardcore engineering/researching and locked labs all day long. I may even consider management, teaching at a college, etc., something with a social aspect…
(I posted this in another dead thread, too)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>You could apply for some third party scholarships(Try looking up any scholarships for chinese students in the United States).</p>
