<p>@Chairo- that’s a tough one. I do know people who are relying 100% on loans and who didn’t get any financial aid- myself included. I actually know quite a lot of people who are like that just because NYU is so stingy with what money they give out.</p>
<p>For me, I’m fortunate enough that my parents told me to get into the best school I could get into, and they would find a way to pay for it, and NYU has been my dream school since I was a little girl, and it is truly an incredible school. I feel blessed every day that I am able to go here. However, it is really expensive and it is a struggle for a lot of people to be able to go here.</p>
<p>I also may wait and see what studio your daughter gets placed into- that should be a deciding factor if you aren’t sure, because each studio is so vastly different, and being here (though I am biased) I don’t think that each studio will provide you with proper training or that they each will prepare you for a career. </p>
<p>For me, the tuition is worth it. I’m in love with my studio, my classes, my teachers, my friends, where I live- I’ve never been happier and I couldn’t imagine my life any differently. But it’s different for everyone. I’d recommend doing a lot of research and weigh your other options, and I’d be happy to answer any other questions you or your daughter may have! Best of luck!</p>
