A note about direct and indirect expenses:

- Indirect expenses are estimates of costs that may be associated with your attendance, but are not typically University charges. Examples include books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.

Explanation of Costs
Borrowing and Loans
Knowing how much it will cost to attend New York University is important, but so is borrowing only as much as you absolutely need.
The costs listed above are suggestions based on our estimate of what it costs to attend New York University. We encourage you to examine your specific expenses and resources to decide how much to borrow or finance.
If you take out a federal loan, a mandatory federal loan fee should be included in your cost of attendance budget.
The registration and services fees furnish resources to fund a portion of the budgets for a variety of services, operations, and activities that serve students and enhance University life in support of our academic program. These services may include, but are not limited to, the Registrar, Student Health Center, the Wellness Exchange / Counseling Service, the Wasserman Center, Information Technology, and Student Life.
Food and Housing
The actual cost of your food and housing depends on several factors, including whether you live on or off campus.
Some important things to keep in mind as you budget for food and housing:
- New York University offers a range of food and housing plans. The figures above represent a student living in a double-occupancy room and three meals per day.
- Housing includes local telephone service, wi-fi access, and cable television in your residence hall room.
- Our on-campus standard rate is meant to also represent the food and housing cost for off-campus housing. Often the costs are similar.
- Off-campus housing in New York City varies depending on housing options, location, number of roommates, amenities, and more.
- Students who live off-campus can still purchase meal plans.
Books and Supplies
The amount listed for books and supplies includes computer costs.
Transportation and Personal Costs
The amounts listed for transportation and personal costs will vary by student.
We estimated the cost of transportation equaling one round-trip travel home during the academic year and local transportation within New York City (i.e. the cost of a monthly unlimited metrocard).
Personal costs include miscellaneous expenses like toiletries and other basic essentials a student will need.
* The amounts shown are not officially approved until July 2023. Financial aid awards for 2023-24 are based on estimated expenses which are comparable to the finalized cost of attendance. Cost of attendance information for the 2024-25 academic year will be available on April 1, 2024.
