Anyone calculated the living cost to live there yet? Too bad the school doesn't break it down for you like NYU. Thanks.

What did you need to know? Assuming you max out your loans, you usually get approximately 13-14k for the year to spend on living expenses + books (if you want to buy them).

so you don't have to buy textbooks? All the finaid presentations always list it as one of the things you have to allocate money for.

THey allocate 1k for books. I think I spent about 300 my freshman year here. Even less so during 2nd year. 😉 The rest of the money can go towards other fun stuff.
