Summer Orientation Fee??

<p>Does anyone know if the mandatory 3 day orientation for CAS Freshmen fee of $335 is part of the tuition or just an additional expense?
If it is additional is this not very unusual. Do other colleges charge for orientation over and above the tuition?</p>

<p>It’s a separate fee. Complete rip-off, but it’s NYU. They want MONEY. I don’t even know how they spend it, but whatever…</p>

<p>Yeah, other colleges have an additional fee for orientation. I know for this year, UF’s fee was $65, and Columbia’s fee last year was $415, so it basically depends on what the school feels like charging.</p>
