Value of NYU Undergad Degree?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

Hi All - We are struggling with NYU being the child’s “dream school” vs. the cost of tuition. Child was admitted this year (oh, the rapture!) but received no merit award (oh, the pain). Can anyone help us drill own on brass tacks regarding when an undergrad degree from NYU is “worth it?” For example, which major(s) is an undergad degree from NYU worth the tuition / debt?

I am currently a student at NYU. I was admitted into the College of Arts and Science last year, but recently transferred to the school of individualized study. I feel that there are so many educational opportunities at NYU that can give many students an edge once they complete their education. Also, depending on the major you pursue, there are career and networking opportunities that you simply cannot get in other cities and schools. NYU has a great alumni network, career development center, and many more resources for students to get the most out of their time here. I personally love the fact that there are so many options of study, depending on how challenging a major you pursue. Their is a partnership between Stern and Tisch, allowing students in both schools to explore interests outside of their confined area of study. Gallatin (school of individualized study) has an awesome and unique style of education that not many schools offer, in which students create their own major and concentration based off of interests. Students have the opportunity to branch out and take courses in other schools. The study abroad options are phenomenal. Overall it is a great school. HOWEVER, I’m aware that NYU is very expensive and if it seems like a better option to go to another school because it isn’t financially possible, there are other schools that can offer some of the same things that NYU can. The NYU experience is just very unique and the school has produced many illustrious alumni

Which school did your child get into (within NYU)? Did you get any aid?
