Does anyone know the cost for the NYU Accelerated BSN program?

AutumnLove · Nov 7, 2009

At the Open House I think they said the cost of the program (just tuition and books, no housing or anything else) is $70,000

YIKES!

70K!!! OH boy ... Well I got some great news the other day..I received my acceptance letter for the accel program on fri!! sooo excited :) :yeah: BUT here comes another difficult decision.. How to finance this?? 70K is crazy.. i know for incomig freshman/transfers its 53K with housing at least thats what the financial booklet said.

Congrats! I haven't received any decision letter yet but I didn't make the early decision cut-off date, so I didn't expect to yet,....

Yea it is a HEFTY price...

I have no idea, either, about the financing....

I have been speaking with some current students, though and they have told me it is not worth the price because there are a lot of administrative prblems there and apparently alot of unhappy nursing students..

Thanks for that insight. Talking to current students is a great idea! :up:

How did you meet or come across current students? Would the nursing staff provide you their contact info? Or perhaps facebook is a good avenue.

I actually did meet through facebook....at first it was more application advice-which was great, then when I had heard about some unrest regarding certain issues I asked and got some honesty-which is hard to find...

From what I have heard, the program has a lot of administrative problems, and issues with the merging with the college of dentistry and also some bad professors....

It was good to know because I have been wondering if it would be worth the huge debt that will be involved...

I guess maybe because NYU was the only place I applied because I know the community colleges are soo competitive I wouldn't be able to get in...

but I really want to become a nurse...

but I don't want to get myself into something that I will end up hating..and in huge debt for...

The debt wouldn't be a problem if it were a great program...but now after becoming somewhat friends and hearing some things I am second-guessing...

Yes its def good to know this. Its important to get all the info esp since its sooooo expensive. I really want to go here and am hoping it will be worth it. I am not even sure if i should keep applying else where as this was my 1st choice. I was talking to my friend who is in the program and is going to start the accel portion in jan and she said she is really happy there and it seems like a great class that will be starting in jan as well. Right now I am looking for apartments in NYC and its so crazy! I dont know how Im going to swing this.. hopefully everything works out.

yea, my friends are in their final semester of the accelerated program... they said it was okay at first but not so much now

but the newer students may have a different standard, so you never know...it could be better- I have no idea, this is just what I have heard-maybe they changed some things for the future programs...
