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.

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.
