Just got accepted into NYU stern full time.

Now have to figure out the finances. How do people live during the 2 years? Does everybody take out loans to not only pay for school but also live?

Loans cover costs of study as well as living costs. I just graduated and maxed out the funds I could receive from the university. This included negotiating scholarships, holding 3 campus jobs. I still had time to attend all my classes, recruit and socialize. Happy to share details and discuss ideas if it helps.

That would be awesome

Do what you need to. I didn’t go to stern, but a lot of the students at the top business schools grew up wealthy *and* / or also worked in high-paying roles before b school and might not need loans. There’s not a one-size fits all approach. You have to do what you need to - be it taking out loans, using your savings or scholarships

Definitely don’t fit into that wealthy cohort

Congrats, also a Sternie here, in my 2nd year. I received a small scholarship but I am mainly maxing out on the loans. I’ve also been working full time, but there are paid opportunities you can go for as a Student Ambassador at Stern. NYU Stern is expensive so I recommend you have something on the side.

To that comment that your cohort might be coming from wealth, yes some will be. Like you I did not come from wealth. You can still do it, so don’t let that shake you.

I’m in the Executive MBA program, so my classes are Fridays and Saturdays, all day, which allows me to work a full 40hrs Mon-Thurs on class weeks. It’s an intense schedule, and only 2 years, just like the full time program.
