Is this the story?

<p>If so, how awful. NYU may give terrible FA packages, but they make no secret of it or false promises to meet need. That student made the decision to go to NYU knowing it would be a huge financial burden. There were much more affordable options in the state.</p>
<p>Thanks for mentioning this, I hadn’t read about it before. At least the student at UCSC is not currently in a situation like that. It’s scary to think that there might very likely be others around the nation who are, though.</p>
