No problem! And yes, you request all of the money at once, but they split it up between semesters. My suggestion is that you request as much as you can/need. Stressing over money is not fun and it's expensive to live here. NYU sets a limit to how much money you are allowed to receive in student loans for the school year, and if you're living off campus it barely seems like enough. I think there are ways to request more if you think you need it, but I haven't done that before so I don't have the info. But definitely call financial aid if you have questions. They're very helpful

The money goes to the school first. They subtract tuition and fees and then they cut you a check for the rest. It takes a week or two to get that check so I never have money the first two weeks of the semester. I did finally sign up for direct deposit though, so I suggest doing that. And I have no complaints with Citibank. They've been great and it's easy and all online.

Congrats! It doesn't matter where you go, you are officically a nursing student. So, are you going through the accelerated program? If so, we will be graduating at the same time.

hey there!

I actually majored in biology and was one class away from a minor in chemistry, so I didn't have any issues with my chem credits. I'm not sure why you would need to take a liberal arts class to make up the credit, but you could call Lindsay Sutton and she could probably explain it to you.. Sorry I'm not more helpful

a PM is on the way...lol

check your PM. So, you are starting your first semester this fall? You must be really excited?

Hey there! I got an externship & start next month!

No, I do med/surg next semester. Start looking at externships now, and you should already be collecting recommenation letters from professors and clinical instructors now.

Even if you don't have med/surg experience, apply anyway. What can they do? Nothing, lol, so just apply. I got an interview with a hospital that required med/surg. I never expected then to call me, I just applied thinking Oh well, it's not like they will curse me out. But for now, try to start listing your top externship choices. I was looking up externships when I was in pre-reqs. Good luck. Some require an essay, and there is no harm in working on them now.

Hey there, just figured I'd add another LIU nursing student, you're a year ahead of me though as I won't start clinicals until next year. I'm in my last year of pre-reqs at the school. Congrats on your acceptance and I know that a lot of people haven't had many great things to say about the program as far as organization but we can only hope it'll improve =)

I left a message with them a few months ago and still haven't received a call back. When it comes to the nursing department, you are better off going to them in person.
