Student expenses will vary from student to student. Indirect costs are estimated for budgetary purposes only. We encourage families to include estimated living expenses when doing your financial planning.
Students will need to cycle or use public transportation from our residences. The MTA has proposed a fare hike for 2023. The new cost for ten 30-day unlimited MetroCards would be $1,320.
determining financial need
In developing a student’s financial aid award package, we begin by constructing a budget based on the estimated cost of education for the academic year, including tuition, supplies, and living expenses. A student’s need for financial assistance is defined as the difference between the estimated cost of attendance and the student’s available resources.
