<p>@ cat’s pajamas - I had no idea that Marymount was so reasonable; that’s almost $20k less than Fordham Lincoln-Center, Pace, NYU, or Eugene Lang in Manhattan.
@ hoveringmom - Unless things have changed recently, Hunter is a commuter school. It’s tuition for non-residents is reasonable, but students have to find lodgings in NYC. There might be limited accommodations available (worth researching), but I doubt they guarantee housing. I looked into Brooklyn College (also part of CUNY): they did not have housing traditionally, but have built a new residence hall. It does not come close to providing for their entire student body, though, and I understand that it fills up very quickly.</p>
