<p>if you have like really low income (less than 60,000 per year) would NYU just simply give me no loans for aid? so basically if you have low income does nyu meet your need or do they just ask you to take out loans?</p>
<p>i have way less than 60K/year. MY EFC (estimated family contribution) was 0, meaning FAFSA said my family shouldnt be expected to pay anyhting out of pocket.</p>
<p>Im a NYS resident, so i qualified for some state grants,a s well as a Federal Pell, and the way it look ill probably get the full amount.</p>
<p>i was offered 7k/year free money from the univ. from what i can figure, this is about avg? Anyway, with federal and state grants, the univ scholarship, and work study, ill be covering about 20K out of 33K...the remaning 13K for tuition and 12K for housing they suggested i take out loans for.</p>
<p>i'll be commuting.</p>
<p>thats terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why does NYU sux0rs with aid!?!?!??</p>
<p>idk, they are the worst school, when it comes to financial need. On their website, it says, "WE MEET 100% OF DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED", they are a rich school, with a large endowment, and when they dont give out aid, it only makes them richer.... They gype their students, and that is why NYU is not a top 20 or even top 15 school on US NEWS, if they had better financial aid, they would be a much more attractive school...</p>
<p>woah buddy. do you know how much it costs to maintain all the buildings that make up the nyu campus? and they are some nice buildings from what ive seen. nyu doesnt give out more money because they honestly cant afford to.</p>
<p>scraps rite-check out the endowments. if im not mistake, Harvard is somewhere around 15 billion/year budget?</p>
<p>NYU has a TENTH of that.</p>
<p>It costs alot of money to maintain stuff in a place where the cost of living is super high. They are the 3rd largest owner of real estate in Manhattan, behind the Catholic Church (archdiocese) and the City of NY itself.</p>
<p>my EFC was 30,000 and I was offered no fin aid other than work study</p>
<p>Evan - Please provide more detailed information about where you found on our web-site that 100% of need is met. This is not a claim that our institution makes for undergraduates, in fact we are very up front as a Committee that we can not meet full-need. So if you actually found that on-line at an NYU sponsored site I would like to know where it is so we can investigate why this misinformation is being presented to students as fact. Thank you for your assistance.</p>
<p>woah nyu adcom!
!#%I^UES(TU(Q#^
well it still sucks how nyu is losing top quality students because its lack of aid</p>
<p>I am just making sure that accurate information is being found by students regarding our school. If a student has found wrong information on a web-site that our school facilitates we want to make sure that this is corrected immediately. I'm not sure why making sure students receive correct information would be viewed so negatively.</p>
<p>its not :)</p>
<p>i dont know where he got the 100% aid thing from.</p>
<p>probably just made a mistake and confused it with another university. cuz ive been all over the nyu website and back fifty million time and all ive seen is the statistic that says the average package is like $19,000 (which sounds about right when you throw in stafford, perkins, and workstudy....my efc was $32,000 and once i get my $2k a year for NMFinalist my package will be about $17,500)</p>
