<p>So on NYU's financial aid website, the cost of room and board is listed as about $12000...this is consistent with the cost of most rooms shown in NYU's housing website...but does this $12000 include the price of a meal plan?!?
because if it doesn't, that would mean that the total cost for food and housing per year will be about $12000 + $3000 = $15000 +++ :O
current students please give me feedback...does the room and board cost include meal plans?</p>

<p>That's correct depending on what dorm you choose and what meal plan you want, but on average I think that's the price tag. =]</p>
<p>omfg that's crazy....i thought the legal definition of room AND board includes dining too....if what scary2hairy is saying is true, then why doesnt the estimated budget come up to be $55000 - $56000, because that will be the actual cost assuming the room and board doesnt include meals</p>

<p>Apparently, NYU is above the law.</p>
<p>Wow, I just revisited my NYU bill for both semesters. I dunno how my parents do it. God bless em. </p>
<p>For me, the explicit cost of going to NYU (Fall '07 and Spring '08) and not spending any cash on stuff for my dorm, going out to eat, etc...is $47,250 without any aid/scholarships.</p>
<p>lol call me crazy but that comes as a major relief to me....i will be enrolling in Stern soon and i expected the annual costs to be well over $55000...your $47000 isnt close to that figure lol...does your bill include tuition, room, AND meal plans??</p>
<p>Well, I'm a CAS freshman living in Rubin which is I think 4.3k for the academic year and I'm on the 175 FLEX.</p>
<p>hey i checked the costs for Rubin...it says its $6.5k....by how much does the housing and tuition rates typically increase every year...and does Rubin have really cramped rooms? because the housing website says that there are 3 kids per room :O</p>
<p>woops. I meant 4.3k per academic semester. Seems they hiked up the price though. </p>

<p>Don't know man. I've only been here for less than a year. If you really want to know, you may have better luck trying the website or calling the housing people.</p>

<p>The triples are really cramped. I've experienced it first hand as my suitemates live in a triple and their furniture is strangely arranged. I on the other hand, have a double which is huge, (I was on of the lucky ones since I got a suite, which contains a double and a triple) whereas some of the other double rooms in Rubin are SMALL.</p>

You don't need a meal plan if you have a kitchen in your dorm. (like third ave north)</p>
<p>The only way to get room and board for 12000 is to get the cheapest dorm possible (the LCT in hayden or rubin) and the $3450 meal plan</p>
