7:30Now PlayingNYU has a unique solution to help students with housing costs. Ana Kasparian and Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“In an effort to address rising housing costs, NYU is rolling out a new housing program that would let students live with senior citizens.
The program, which was first reported by the Post, was the result of affordability initiatives put in place by Andrew Hamilton, NYU's president since January 2016. Ellen Schall, chair of NYU's Affordability Steering Committee, told Gothamist that the university—which has a staggering annual price tag of $65,000 a year and was ranked Business Insider's #3 most expensive college in 2015—is trying to become more affordable to as many students as possible.
"Room and board and books were a major concern for students," Schall said, and this new program will hopefully alleviate the costs for those who want to live near campus but can't afford the university's regular dorms or nearby apartments.
The pilot program starts in the Fall 2017 semester and will consist of at least 10 juniors, seniors, or grad students, who will have to fill out a special application to be considered. The cost hasn’t been worked out yet, but Schall said the committee hopes it’ll cut the cost of housing in half for participating students. Undergraduate students who choose to live on campus after freshman year pay anywhere from $10,454 for a shared studio bedroom to $21,112 for a private room in a suite.”
