<p>I’m somewhat in the same boat, I also live in SC but I will be able to attend Clemson and USC free of charge, but I would choose NYU over both despite the cost. Yes NYU is expensive, but I am applying to numerous outside scholarships, and those coupled with any FA grants I may receive should hopefully put the loans at a manageable level. The reason I am taking my chance is because I believe Stern would offer many more opportunities for internships, networking, and studying abroad which were all important to me. </p>
<p>Nice to find another NYU applicant from SC!</p>
