i’m an upcoming sophomore at nyu (the school that is obnoxiously expensive). my first year i was basically covered by scholarships, a few minor federal loans, and paying a bit myself which brought the cost down significantly. but this upcoming year i no longer have a ton of outside scholarships nor are my parents helping me by co-signing on loans or taking out the parent plus loan (which i wouldn’t want them to do because it’s a big burden).
i don’t know the official cost of attendance for next year yet but i do know it went up and i’m worried i won’t be able to afford it. i don’t want to take out huge loans but i’m okay with little ones but even then i don’t think i will be able to take out a loan big enough to cover the tuition without a co-signer. i appealed for financial aid but the decisions don’t come out until july.
i really love this school and made it such a big deal that i was coming here so im scared to drop out or transfer but i just don’t know if i can justify this price for the next 3 years. it seems kin

Undergraduate Tuition-Free Program
The NYU Promise, launched in the fall of 2024, provides free tuition for full-time undergraduate students on the Washington Square campus who come from households with an annual income of less than $100,000 and hold typical assets. This policy applies to both domestic and international students, covering first-year entrants as well as continuing sophomores, juniors, and seniors who meet the criteria. While tuition is waived, students are still responsible for room, board, and other living expenses.
