*Actual food and housing charges depend on several factors, including whether a student lives on or off campus. There is a range of housing and meal plans available on campus at NYU. The standard figure for financial aid purposes represents food and housing for an on-campus student living in a double occupancy room and three meals a day.
NYU housing provides local telephone service, wi-fi access, and cable television to the residence hall room at no additional charge.
The on-campus standard rate is also used to represent the food and housing costs for an off-campus student since costs on average are similar.
Individual costs for off-campus living vary as the New York City area has many different housing options and associated costs, depending upon location, number of roommates, amenities, etc. Also, note that University meal plans are available for students who live off-campus.

Financial Aid and Scholarships
The cost of a college education is a matter of concern and consideration for many students and their families, many of whom may not be able to attend NYU without financial assistance. Regardless of your family's financial circumstances, paying for college will require a substantial commitment of your resources over the next several years. While the primary responsibility for meeting college costs rests with the student and the family, we are committed to coordinating resources and available funds to help you to invest in your education at NYU.
Although NYU is not able to meet the full needs of every student, we strongly encourage you to apply for financial aid immediately if you believe you will need any amount of financial assistance to make your NYU education possible.
Some awards are granted purely on the basis of scholastic merit. Others are based on financial need. However, it is often possible to receive a combination of awards based on both. Thus, University scholarships or fellowships may be granted by themselves or in conjunction with student loans and/or Federal Work-Study employment. To ensure that maximum sources of available support will be investigated, students must apply for financial aid by the appropriate deadline.
Your decision to apply for financial aid will have no bearing on the admissions decision.
