<p>This info. applies to newly admitted students. If you’ve sent in your $300 housing deposit, you’ll receive housing instructions in May via snail mail and NYU email. You must apply online and send in your $1,000 housing reservation fee by June 2. Both the $300 deposit and $1,000 fee will be applied to your fall housing charges.
You’ll find this sort of information on their website and in the red brochure, “General Instructions,” that came in your beautiful purple admissions packet. I found it helpful to underline and make notes in it.
As you figure out your cash flow, remember that you’re required to buy health insurance IF you don’t have other coverage. Last year’s rate appears to have been $1,524, but I haven’t finished looking into this on NYU’s website. Also remember to allow money in the budget for transportation and the more expensive housing in case that’s where you’re placed.
Good luck and congratulations on NYU!</p>
