<p>for 08-09, they project $37,223

<p>and remember, this figure does not included all the other fees. just the tuition.</p>

<p>stop spending like f*** ivy league schools when we have 1/20 endowment of harvard.</p>

<p>oh did I mention that fees are going up by 7.2% and hosuing is going up by 3.5%?</p>

<p>Where did you find this information?</p>

<p>It is true.</p>

<p>oh my god! they need to stop</p>

<p>this is the source - the school newspaper</p>

<p><a href="http://media.www.nyunews.com/media/storage/paper869/news/2007/03/29/News/Tuition.Likely.To.Rise.5.5.Percent-2812019.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://media.www.nyunews.com/media/storage/paper869/news/2007/03/29/News/Tuition.Likely.To.Rise.5.5.Percent-2812019.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Coinciding with the tuition hike, funding for student aid will increase by 6 percent, with $233 million to be provided in financial aid for the 2007-2008 year.</p>

<p>holy crap.. now i'm having second thoughts..</p>

<p>Does NYU increase tuition just for its incoming freshman class and students pay the same amount for all four years...or do they hike it up for everyone every year?</p>

<p>oh my god...that's higher than the rate of inflation!!!!! And higher than most of our parents' salaries</p>

<p>the ****, by '09 tuition alone is gonna be higher than my parents' combined net income.</p>

<p>This isn't just something at NYU, it's happening everywhere. And it's further exacerbated by the fact that the income gap is growing, but I digress. Soon college is going to become completely unaffordable for a vast majority of Americans. Even if qualified enough students are admitted to top universities, they still may be confined to their local state school because of cost issues.</p>

<p>completely ridiculous. i really want to go to NYU too! sigh..</p>

<p>f***!!! what is this?! aren't they getting enough?! uuuuuuuugh! and yeah, they spend too much...
oh, what a joy! i'm getting $150 000 in loans! Imagine how my life after Stern will end up being for me! Bankrupt, i can predict.</p>

<p>my question is why is there a 1,000 housing reservation fee? Lame!</p>

<p>I've never heard of a college that didn't request a deposit for housing. Why is that lame? Be prepared to do it every year.</p>

<p>208K for four years at Tisch(just for tuition)........is it really worth it?
I doubt I would make that much money after I graduate.</p>

<p>Yes most colleges do request a deposit for housing but i have NEVER heard of any of them being over $500. And the fact that we have to pay the $1000 on top of the $200 Housing deposit is very LAME!</p>

<p>mackie, the figure is proportional to the cost of NYU. Colleges which charge less for the deposit probably cost less to attend, in all respects. With all due respect to you, and I hope you take this in the spirit that it's intended, if you're having a problem coming up with the deposit which is small in relation to the total cost of attending, then perhaps NYU isn't the school for you. It's one of the most expensive schools in the country and if you're at Tisch, you're going to be paying more than any other NYU college. Not only is the school expensive, the city is incredibly expensive to live in. Just something you may want to think about.</p>

<p>I believe Fordham university is as expensive (though not as competitive i think) but their deposit is much less. Fordham is just one of the many colleges that follow this pattern. My academic as well as talent ability make NYU the "right school for me" not my financial situation. I am full aware of the cost of NYU as well as the cost of living in the city. I was just taken aback by the housing cost.</p>

<p>All the improvements they are making are for CAS...kind of seems unfair to the students in other schools.</p>
