It is?
hmmmmm - it’s not.
Oh, and you cannot afford NYU.
You can afford $50K a year. You can borrow $27K over four years - $5500 the first year.
So forget it’s a dream school (no such thing) - NYU has a stated cost of $93K but you know housing is pricy and costs go up every year. So you’re likely looking at lease $180K in deb - which means you need to borrow $190K or so to get the $180K.
That’s $2200 a month in principal/interest for ten years - think about that.
And you want to make documentaries. You may not make $2200 a month - and then how about rent, a car, food, etc.
Not to come off as mean but I cannot believe you would even ask about NYU in this case.
It’s such a no no - and you’ve let emotions get ahead of reality.
And for the record, it’s not more prestigious or better in name, etc. as you think. In fact, many are dismissive of NYU and what it stands for outside of business and theatre (but not the UCs).
Good luck.
