Just my opinion but Columbia, NYU, or Cornell at sticker would be absolutely brutal financially.
Are you implying that Columbia's numbers went down because the COL in NY state is high? I'm confused.
I wouldn't go that far it is probably a multitude of things but looking at the fact that the tuition costs for 9 months is 67k and the estimated total cost for 9 months is nearly 90k, yeah I would hope that is a significant consideration..........
And that is Columbia's numbers. Their estimated rent in New York WITH utilities is 1.3k?

They heavily subsidize their housing.

In terms of Scholarship money? Can you elaborate?

I just mean their law school dorms/apartments/whatever literally cost $1,300. I guess they're not subsidized in the traditional sense of the word (since Columbia presumably owns them), but they just charge below market.

3.7/171 were the c/o 2016 medians, 2017 was 3.71/172, now its 3.7/171 again with 40 more people in the class than 2016. What are the 'holy fucks' about. This isn't anything earth shattering

The 168 is pretty shocking. When was the last time their 25th dipped that low?

No they don't. Sharing a small apartment with two other people in a shitty neighborhood for $1400 is not a subsidy.

Oh, that sucks. Everybody always says they're subsidized so I assumed it must be true.

They're subsidized. Some get better deals than others obviously. I paid $1600, $1700, $1800 for a 1 bedroom during my three years.

Any idea as to why they do this rather than just lowering tuition in the first place? Just curious and thanks for the information.

Lol at them ever lowering tuition.

They own 6000+ apartments around campus that they lease out at below-market rates to faculty, staff, and graduate-level students (undergraduates have separate dormitories). It's been the practice for decades. As to why, I'm not sure--probably to encourage students to live in the neighborhood and engage in campus life. Historically, it was probably also much better housing than you could get in the surrounding neighborhood. Obama's off-campus apartment on 109th & Amsterdam didn't even have heat.

Lol at heavily subsidized housing costing $1800 for a 1 BR. You're done here Manhattan.

$690 for a fully furnished 1bd/1ba a mile from campus is pretty legit. I couldn't do NYC.
