NYU is one of my top choices, but I've heard it's quite expensive. What is the average undergraduate student's tuition cost, including fees and expenses for living in NYC? Thanks for any insights!
NYU does have a reputation for being expensive, and the cost can vary depending on factors like housing choices and meal plans. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the approximate cost of attendance for an undergraduate student at NYU is as follows:
- Tuition and fees: $62,796
- Food and housing: $24,652
- Books and supplies: $1,442
- Personal expenses: $1,952
- Transportation: $2,342
Adding these costs together gives a total estimated cost of attendance of approximately $93,184 per year. Do keep in mind that these costs can change slightly from year to year, and your personal expenses or transportation costs may differ based on your needs and habits.
It's important to note that many students receive financial aid, which can significantly reduce the net cost of attendance. NYU offers need-based financial aid and merit scholarships, and you may also qualify for outside scholarships or grants. Be sure to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS Profile to maximize your chances of receiving financial assistance.
