Is NYU worth the sticker price?

I’m not sure that there’s an easy answer to your question. My D is a Tisch grad and her education was extremely expensive and that was several years ago. For us, it was worth it because we could afford to pay for it. For most families, that isn’t an option. I would not recommend that a student be saddled with big student loans in any type of arts major. It will impede their ability to make the most of their education and to be able and available to pursue booking work.

My D’s training and education at NYU was excellent and she was employed from the time she graduated until today with no break. The contacts she made while in school, both at Tisch and in NYC, are largely responsible for that. Her particular path is unlikely to have happened as it did if she hadn’t been where she was for those four years.
