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

My EFC was 0 and I was lucky enough to get $50K in scholarships/grants. I’m taking out $6K in public loans per year and thankfully my parents are covering the rest as a gift. It’s such a relief to know that I get to go to NYU at a price that’s cheaper than going to my public state school!

But, if I had to pay more than $50K in loans per year, there is no way I would’ve picked this school. NYU is great but definitely not worth the debt.
