<p>Housing and meal plan prices vary a lot. The most expensive apartment-style room rate for freshmen is $12,850. The most expensive traditional dorm for freshmen is $11,490. Those prices don’t include the meal plan. The link for housing rates is: [NYU</a> > Department of Housing](<a href=“Housing and Dining”>Housing and Dining)
You’ll see headings for meal plan options and rates, too. I don’t know how common it is for a student to be assigned a much more expensive room than requested.</p>
