NYU for that much and for your major isn’t worth it.
Absolutely not.
Your chosen fields will start with low paying gigs and will depend on internships.
Purdue has excellent career fairs so I can see why it’d be attractive. It’ll probably help the most professionally… if you can afford it!
So, its URGENT you find how much your parents can afford to pay from college savings on your behalf and from current income.
Take it from someone who majored in communication. It’s not employable…so much so that I had to go back to school to get a computer degree. If I got my degree at NYU, I would have been much worse off, because I would have far too much debt to go back to school.
My advice, go somewhere affordable. If you’re going to take out debt for school, make darn sure is something marketable. Get a teacher’s certification…something. I always tell my daughter, follow your dreams…but “adulting” comes first.
