How To Graduate NYU for $17K Less

I’m not in Gallatin, but this is good to know in general terms.  Too bad you can’t really get away with 2-credit classes for my major.

What you’re probably doing:
Cost of full time enrollment/semester (Gallatin): $19,382.50
Credits required to graduate from this fine institution: 128
Credits a typical student takes/semester: 16
(so cost/credit is $19,382.50/16=$1,211.41)
128 required credits/16 credits per semester= 8 semesters of schooling x $19,382.50 per semester= $155,060 (vomit)

What you should be doing:
Cost of full time enrollment/semester (Gallatin): still $19,382.50
Credits required to graduate from this fine institution: still 128
Credits taken/semester= 18
(so cost/credit is $19,382.50/18=$1,076.81)
128 required credits/18 credits per semester= 7 semesters of schooling x $19,382.50 per semester= $135,677.50 (puke somewhat less) PLUS the 2 final credits required to graduate (see below), which will run you between $2,200 and about $3,200 (total), dependent on how/when you take them.

Savings: $155,060-$135,677.50=$19,382.50 (minus what you spend on your final two credits)
