<p>I am getting $56000 FA(including loans), which covers tuition + dorm/meals + books…etc.</p>
<p>After I finish the housing forms, I will be sending $1000+$800 to NYU…</p>
<p>Do I get my money back? or is this payment separate??</p>
<p>The $1000 Housing Resevation Fee will be credited towards your housing fee for Fall 2010, as well as the $300 Housing deposit. The $500 out of the $800 initial Tuition and Housing fees will be credited towards Fall 2010 Tuition and Fees.</p>
<p>I think $56000FA covers everything for the first year…??</p>
<p>SAT2350,</p>
<p>That # is an estimate and may not include miscellaneous expenses, depending on your spending style and choices for housing and meal plan.</p>
<p>CAS 2010-2011 Tuition, Housing, Meal Plan and Other Fees
Tuition and Registration Fees: approximately $40,132
Housing: approx. $6700 (LCH) to $15,600 (depending on dorm and type of room)
Meal Plan: approx. $2000 to $4000 (depending on # of meals in your meal plan)
Books: approx. $1000+ (depending on courses and where you purchase books)
Pocket $ and $ for off-campus Dining (to cover meals not eaten in NYU Dining Halls): Depends on your spending/life- style.</p>
<p>I figured a total of $62,000 for academic year 2010-2011 with pocket money, book fees, and $12,000 for double room and $4000 (approx) for the 175 flex meal plan, in addition to tuition and reg fees for my son.</p>
<p>By the way, if you live in a traditional style dorm, you must take the 10 meal/ week or 175 flex meal/ semester plan. The cost is $3730 for 2010-2011, so the Meal Plan cost should be closer to $4000 for the year (instead of the $2000 mentioned above).</p>

<p>wow,that’s different…??So a total of $74000 is needed for the first year…?</p>
<p>What dorm does your son live in? What’s his major?</p>
<p>In the pdf file, it says $950 for books and supplies…but it’s actually over $1000;;;</p>
<p>omg…</p>
<p>SAT2350,</p>
<p>I’m not sure where you got the $74,000 total from. I mentioned my son’s ESTIMATED expenses for 2010-2011, based on $40,000 for tuition and reg fees, $12,000 for housing, $4,000 for 175 flex meal plan, $1000 for books
and $5000 pocket money and food purchased outside of dining halls. (I had determined $600/ month spending money for sonny who will have to eat 2 days of meals and breakfast meals on his own based on his meal plan; approx. 8 months to the academic year means $4800-5000 pocket money). So the total is $62,000. Still a lot but not the figure you came up with.</p>
<p>ah, I see. </p>
<p>I thought your son was at NYU this year.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks for the reply.</p>
