Is NYU´s stipend enough to live in such an expensive city?
-
Jim Fearon was on my committee. I know him reasonably well. Don't go to Stanford to work with him. He's definitely smart, and definitely a decent human being, but he's rigid.
OP here.
Thank you Sheryl, Merton, Jillian, Darrel, Grace and everyone who has earnestly tried to give me the most useful answer posible. You have truly helped me.
There are other academics at NYU that would make dream advisors for me and the courses looked amazing back when they would upload syllabi to the departments page, but I am aware of BDM's age and so this year I only applied to Stanford (my current dream program, specially if I get to work with Fearon).
If I dont get into Stanford, besides improving my application, I will cast a wider net next cycle and with this precious info I will consider NYU one of my very top choices.
Thank you all,
Bless you -
As a previous poster said, if you have half a brain, many many things in NYC aside from rent are cheaper and more convenient than supposedly reasonable cookie-cutter cities in flyover states. You might even find that compared to Boston or the West Coast, you can get way cooler housing for 10-15% less if you learn how to look.
This is extremely correct. Rent excluded, NYC is "expensive" if you're a class conscious upper-middle class striver who can't imagine not living a lifestyle commensurate with the class status you aspire to have. For people without that particular personality defect, it's not difficult to find and enjoy "cheap New York." Rent's the sticky wicket, the rest of it's easy.

Thanks to all of you, but specially thank you Anona. I dont know what you mean by rigid. Would you recomend Avidit Acharya or Kenneth Schultz over him?Fearon is the Stanford researcher I most admire.
I’ll be the honest pr1ck on this thread one more time: you sound like a sweet but gullible girl from outside America: probably LatAm. I don’t trust your self-assessment of your chances of getting into Stanford or NYU. Also NYC is probably not for you. But don’t fuss over this decision too much, you are young and you have a long way to go.

Glad you had such a great time in your 20s but this is pretty outdated info.
How does NYU stipend compare to Columbia?
The real difference, at least based on my experience (which is admittedly from a little while ago), is that Columbia is much better in terms of student housing. There are definitely limits (try not to be married; definitely don't have kids; and be prepared for some of your roommates to be weird), but if you're in student housing it's definitely affordable. There's still a huge chunk of New York that's out of your budget, but there's a whole lot that's perfectly doable, too. I wouldn't live in New York now that I'm married and have kids, but spending five years in my twenties at Columbia was awesome, even before you factor in that I got a great graduate education. -
Sh!tipsters who are mad they couldn’t get into their top grad school
Email grad students LOL who do u think is posting here? Good luck with that
OP, instead of turning to this trash site, how about you email grad students there. And do that with every place you get accepted to.
Good luck!
