<p>I'm trying to figure out approximate costs for things other than room/board/tuition and I was wondering if NYU students typically hang around places within easy walking distance or if they go uptown a lot. How much do people usually pay for their metrocard? And does NYU offer a discounted metrocard (a lot of the schools where I'm from in Seattle do something like that)</p>
<p>it varies ALOT, you won't get a good answer here, just a bunch of non representative anecdotes. NYU doesn't have a discounted metro card. Some people never use the subway, some people get the monthly metro card ($75ish), some people use taxi's every where. You won't really know till you find out who your friends are, what the cool hang out spots are for your year, if you work, etc</p>
<p>ZING! (10 char)</p>
