<p>I was reading about how to stabalize your tuition over 4 years and wanted to know from the older students whether the extra $1,000 a semester was worth it in the end and whether tuition does really go up that much.</p>
<p>wish i did it</p>
<p>i think that you can only do it if you're not on fin. aid</p>
<p>so the total tuition increase is greater than 8K for the 4 years at Stern?</p>
<p>where did you find this? (I'm a little too lazy to just google it)</p>
<p>i'm going to be at stern next year as well and am wondering if this is worth it...but anyways heres the link</p>
<p>"NYU is projecting a 5.3 percent undergraduate tuition hike for the 2006-2007 academic year, a figure that mirrors last years hike."</p>
<p>Do the math for four years.</p>
<p>thanks there :)</p>
<p>well i just did the math and here are the figures. The first column represents the price this year and a projected increase of 5.4% every year. The second column represents someone on the price stabilization plan.</p>
<p>31904 33904
33595 33904
35375 33904
37250 33904
138124 135616</p>
<p>The difference between the two is roughly $2500.</p>
<p>If the tuition only increases 4% every year then the total comes out to 135478. That would mean that the price stabilization plan would be more costly...so unless you are sure that the increase of tuition will be more than 4.1% a year then the plan is useless.</p>
<p>AND no matter where you get the money for the up-front cost- you may be able to earn more investing it (if you already have it) or not paying interest on it ( if you borrow). It's gotta cost one way or the other.</p>
<p>wait scrowman, can you reword that im kind of confused. sorry.</p>
<p>scrowmans trying to work in microeconomics theory. saying you can earn 10% or so on the 2000 less you pay the first year and such...but it turns out to be pretty nominal</p>
