I was also confused about this - called NYU Financial Aid today and the guy told me that the 68,000 & change does factor in $ for books, living/commuting/expenses etc. You can request as much of the loans they offered as you want.. if you take out more than the cost of the tuition alone, you will be sent a refund check and can use that money to pay for the train, rent, or whatever else you may need. Hope that helps!!!

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from Seton Hall?! I completed my application in early December, sent them syllabi from a few of my pre-req courses, and they told me my application had been reviewed about a month ago, I'm getting so nervous!

i saw an acceptance from seton hall today on the results and i got SO excited but i didn't hear anything :[

congratulations!!!!

i also interviewed on 2/20 and I did not receive anything either. i'm confused! hopefully we will hear something in the next few days, all the best to you!!

Thank you! I would love to know more about the town (I live about 25 min away and would definitely be commuting if I was to go there). Do you know any students who completed their program? I haven't heard much about it except for that there is a large focus on clinical experiences which I really like.

mystiqueSLP I sent you a PM

hey clydeo12 no problem! i'm sorry i'm kinda new to posting on here so i dont know how to make a signature haha! I also applied exclusively to local schools (NYU, Hunter, Seton Hall, Montclair, and NYMC) but I haven't heard from any of them yet except for NYU. That's awesome!!! Are you doing all of your pre-reqs right now? I am glad you like it and hope that you will have all of the schools you applied to as options! And I totally understand, I feel like the tuition thing is definitely weighing heavily on my mind more than anything else at this point!

I applied to Hunter and haven't heard a thing since I submitted my application!

Hi! I wanted to reply because I am in a similar situation! I just graduated from NYU as a CSD undergrad and was accepted into the graduate program as well. I am from NJ and would like to stay as close to home as possible to be close to my family and save money. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about NYU in general, and can provide some information about what I have observed in terms of the graduate program. It is definitely on the larger side, probably about 60-70 in each class. There are a lot of interesting and challenging classes in the curriculum, as well as some great electives, like an entire class about Baby Trachs. The CSD department itself is new and very beautiful, and is conveniently located about 3 blocks from the main campus around Washington Square. I think that the reputation is getting much better and the professors are definitely top notch in terms of their research, accomplishments and activities in the field, and that you would get a very well rounded experience there! That being said, I know that for me personally I am very much hoping to get into a NJ school for personal as well as financial reasons. I have heard similar things that some other posters have mentioned -- that it's more about your own personal preferences and reasons to choose where you go and what you make out of where ever you go that matters the most! I think as long as it is an accredited program, most of the classes will be similar. I hope that helped a little, good luck & wishing you the best in the decisions process!
