<p>The tuition and cost of living in NY, we can all safely agree on, is pretty expensive.</p>
<p>How are you guys planning on paying for the tuition and costs of living for this university?</p>
<p>NYU merit scholarship. Without it, I would NOT be here. My parents have paid for the rest. I've probably chipped in $1000 over the last three years, but that's a drop in the bucket.</p>
<p>NYU scholarship, Outside scholarship, parents the rest. Cost of living in NY: Alot, my parents have been giving me money lately but i got a workstudy job</p>
<p>NYU scholarships + outside scholarships cover probably 60%, parents pay the rest of tuition for the most part, though I paid them a couple thousand (from a summer internship) instead of taking out a student loan this year. Part-time job/savings from summer covers my living expenses.</p>
<p>NYU scholarship + a little outside scholarship + my summer earnings + savings fund + what parents can pay = 50% and the rest is NYU loans/other loans.</p>
<p>For spending money (which includes my meals, school supplies, books, and all things NYU or not NYU related) I work. It's not hard at all to get a job up here. I was working two for a month, but quit the second one because of the time demand.</p>
<p>Yikes. Loans are scary, especially with my medschool aspirations... the question is whether its worth it now.</p>
<p>MMEI, I'm also an aspiring med school student. I see it this way:</p>
<p>A) If you're going to be $200k in debt just from med school, another $20k or so from undergrad makes little difference.</p>
<p>B) However, if your undergraduate debt is $100k, and then you want to add the med school debt on top of that, then you're looking at a huge difference.</p>
<p>In short, what NYU is "worth" depends on each individual person.</p>
<p>Loans from Citi bank.</p>
<p>how large are the grants and work studies- so not including the loan side of it all</p>
<p>and what're the chances of getting these loans and grants and whatnot? I want to go to medschool too but I don't want to be in debt for like 50 years <_<</p>
<p>I have no clue....I'll worry about that AFTER I get in. But first, I need to get in.</p>
