Is it worth it to go to NYU if I’ll end up 40-50k in debt?
Hello all!
I got accepted as a transfer student into NYU Tisch for film (woo hoo!). They offered me no aid, but my parents said they’d help me pay for a part of it. I would end up 40-50k in debt after graduating.
The hard part is, I also got accepted into Emerson College for film, and they’re giving me enough aid that I would graduate debt free.
I’m more attracted to NYU for its location, superior programs, the fact that I would have access to high level classes in other disciplines (whereas Emerson is more strongly just a pure arts school), among a whole host of reasons. But getting into debt makes me nervous, and the thought of graduating debt free is very appealing.
I’m worried I’d get a worse education at Emerson, but those fears could be entirely unfounded. Is NYU worth getting into debt for?
Thank you.
