<p>Im debating on whether or not attending NYU because of the little financial aid thay gave me. After four years i will be looking at about 150,000 in loans. Is this possible to deal with after graduation? is NYU worth that much in loans for four years? i need some help, up until now NYU has always been my first choice and now i dont know what to do. Anybody?</p>
<p>WOW 150 k in loans...i've heard that graduating with 20 k of debt is ideal...</p>
<p>Did you apply early decision? I'm just wondering. Personally, I decided that although NYU was an ideal school, the debt would just be too much to take on. I was considering like $50,000, not even close to what your going to have. What do you want to major in? What about grad school? There's no right answer to this, yes, it'll be hard to repay, but it's all up to you.</p>
<p>Don't do it. Not worth it.</p>
<p>150K .....OH MY LORD</p>
<p>its tooo much! Consider other colleges! i do not think its worth it either</p>
<p>I don't understand how people afford to go to NYU and NOT come out with $150k in loans... </p>
<p>Seriously - to any NYU students, how did you manage to finance your education?</p>
<p>How could you afford to pay back 150 k?</p>
<p>One of life's lessons here. Apply to academic reaches, matches and safeties as well as financial reaches, matches and safeties. We shouldn't get too attached to any one school, until we get accepted and see the aid package. I suppose it also helps if you get admitted to schools that consider themselves academic peers so you can have al least a chance at having your aid package reviewed, if necessary.</p>
<p>It's sad and scary but schools can and do use aid as a tacit deferral or rejection, to keep their statistics up. For most of us ED was out of the question and we try to apply to a broad range of schools to maximize our chances for both admission and financial aid.</p>
<p>That's why it's a good idea to include some other than top tier schools in your school list. To attract top students, tier 2, 3 and 4 schools will up the merit packages to get them. This also gives the student more choices when all the dust settles with admission and aid.</p>
<p>Weren't you accepted ED (binding)?...and yeah, if you get a job on wall street upon graduation then 150 shouldn't be too bad</p>
