NYU Tisch is $73,088 (direct cost) for 2017-2018 https://www.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu/financialAid/documents/tuitiontisch.pdf

NYU Steinhardt is $68,128 (direct cost)
https://www.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu/financialAid/documents/tuitiongeneral.pdf

345

Direct Cost for Nebraska Wesleyan for 2017-2018 is $42,044. Can someone please update. Thanks!

346

NYU costs tho… ( cough …sputter…)
That is one hard - pill to swallow just sayin! Lol

347

@theaterwork You’re not kidding! Sticker shock for sure. LOL

348

re: NYU costs… it’s not like it should be a big shock… they hardly bill themselves as the “low cost alternative”. The question to be answered is - “Do you think the value of the education provided is worth the cost of the tuition” - for our family it is a resounding yes.

No kidding!
Couple of quick comments. If you look at tuition and mandatory fees, you will realize NYU is on par with several other programs (BOCO, CMU, and others) that are indeed insanely expensive. Worth it? NYU’s room and board is what really moves it ahead of the others. But as an FYI to anyone that is looking at it, my kid paid 600 per month in rent senior year and could also graduate early or go part time. There are ways of closing the gap between that program and others in the north of 60 range.

However, there is NO WAY short of an amazing scholarship to close the gap between north of 60 and south of 40. And if you have a school south of 40 with great training that you feel good about, I personally think you have your answer. But I of course have nothing to do with any decision other than what my own family came up with for our situation. I am happy with what we did as it made sense for us. Do what makes sense for you!

@halfokum So true, it really is so individual. FWIW @halfokum was a great resource for us when we were looking:):slight_smile:

I’ll add that University of Utah also provides many students a minimum of $2k talent scholarships. Our cost for tuition only has averaged $5k a semester since gaining residency status after freshman year. Room and board have averaged $10k a year which is rather average. College is expensive. Our other daughter has a full scholarship OOS and it’s still $10k a year for room and board.
