<p>Can anyone tell me how generous NYU are with financial aid? I'm concerned that I won't qualify for any due to family income but it's still going to be all me trying to pay for college. </p>
<p>If anyone could give me a very rough estimate based on a household income of $180,000 that would be very much appreciated.</p>
<p>I had a friend who once attended NYU. (She later transferred.) Her household income was $40,000. I am a little fuzzy on the details, but she received about $30,000 in grants/work study/government aid. She had to borrow the rest. Eventually, the financial pressure was just too much. She ended up transferring to a school back home.</p>
<p>So, from her experience… I would say that you would likely get nothing.</p>
<p>Sorry if NYU was your dream school, but NYU is not very generous when it comes to need-based aid.</p>
