Please clarify : Does Room AND Board include meal plans?

I really need a response from current NYU students....on the websites of most other schools, it clearly says that room and board will include dining costs (meal plan)...most private schools charge about 10-12k for room and board

however, for NYU, the room and board costs are listed between 10-12k, but the meal plan costs are listed separately as 3k.....is this 3k part of the 12k for room and board or is it separate? will that mean the total costs of living and dining are 15k for NYU?!?!?

they are only estimating room and board bc rubin and brittany are only about 8-9k why weinstein and hayden are about10-11k and uhall and 3rd north are like12-13k so it all depends of the dorm you pick

Interesting q; I had always thought that "board" meant "food", but it obviously doesn't....

Just noticed for my d's schools, room and board listed separately from meal plan as well......not as high as NYU though; $11,000 total....

the rates on nyu housing are for a full year of just housing, and that number will be split in half and charged per semester. the meal plan will differ in costs depending on what you get, but traditional freshman dorms have a required meal plan. anything that says room+board is probably just an estimated figure. if it says $9000 for dorm A, then that is just for dorm A, but if its traditional they will tag on a meal plan to your bill (there are several plans but they will choose one by default which you can later change but not remove) which you will pay in addition to your 9000 for housing.
