I am excited about this all. However @Awp and @Aeli23 what are y’all doing about housing? I am currently looking at apartments and trying to find roommates. This is all so new and nerve wracking for me. Also @Awp I feel you on the financial aid stuff and how confusing it is. I’ll have to take out loans. It’s no big deal but I’m hoping I’ll have enough to cover living expenses and tuition. This is my dream school!

Yeah, the whole thing is stressful. I'd be an international student as well, so even loans are extremely limited but there's time to figure something out. I feel a little kinship with your parents in my attitude to all of it. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to ask for more from the uni, seeing as I'm a working artist in Sri Lanka, so the rates are even more astronomical when converted into the Rupee.

As for living, I'm just starting to consider. Ideally, I'd wanna be off-campus, I have a few mates in New York so I've asked them to keep an eye out, but I'm thinking I need to have all avenues open. The cost of living thing is also looming its great big ugly head.

SO happy for you, so sad for me. No email, nothing in my portal from NYU. 

Thank you! Keeping my fingers crossed for ya

Congratulations! I'm no expert, but feel free to DM if you want a second opinion on understanding your package. I had the same issue looking at my Northwester package.

Thanks! I'll definitely DM you with a couple of questions

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker here, dipping my toe in for the first time to write. Wanted to first say what a salve this forum has been against the anxiety of this whole process. I haven't really joined the conversation before because I applied primarily to UK universities and only NYU and Yale in the States.

Just found out I've been accepted into NYU. I'm beyond elated. Just breathing a huge sigh of relief. Got an email with a notification to check the portal.

I've been given some financial aid but the whole thing is so confusing to figure out that I'd appreciate if anyone who could give me some help on that.
