Nedel - what is your son planning on studying? Depending on the major/field, that impacts the value of the NYU degree. My S got half tuition scholarships to both NYU and BU and something similar for UPitt. Because he’s in the sciences and plans on grad school before working FT (at least for now!), he’s decided to save the $$ and go to Pitt. Because their tuition (even for OOS) and room & board are lower, we’ll be able to pay for his undergrad w/o loans. If we went to NYU, it would probably work out to between $50K and $75K in loans after 4 years. Of course, if your son is going into something like business/finance where he can rake in a nice salary straight out of undergrad, then NYU could very well be worth it. Good luck with this difficult decision!
