How do "normal" people get through NYU, financially?

@laurenbanjo: so if you study for say 3 years, you will have paid 450k for taking a loan with a total of 168k? because from what I’ve heard it’s around 55k a year there?

@dreamer2012: well aren’t you lucky, good for you how did you get scholarships/grants? you see I’m from Europe, I have no idea how scholarships and grants work for us if we want to study there.

as for your last comment - isn’t it, though? I mean I want to become a psychologist once I’m done and I want to live and work in New York. won’t it be kind of ““easy”” to repay my debts? and isn’t it possible to pay chunks of money on loans rather than keep paying the monthly cost to avoid interest?(this kind of points back at you @laurenbanjo :p)

Thank you both for your input though!

PS: I don’t think I’m close enough to the application state etc just yet so all I’m really doing right now is digging for the future. I want to get an idea of what to expect.
