$300k-$320k min unless you manage to keep you rent below $2k somehow
Room. I don't know how much CBS housing costs, but that would be the cheapest option if you can get it
I would budget anywhere from $3k-$5k+ depending on how much you want to go out, travel, where you want to live, and if you generally live a frugal vs. more luxurious lifestyle.
Travel can add up quickly, and it isnt cheap to go out in NYC.
I budgeted $300k all in (including tuition and rent), and it is roughly accurate
Yup, I would agree with that number as well.
If you live frugally then you can budget lower. But I you want to maximize your “experience” then bump up that number
Your experience will be shaped by the amount of money you’re willing to spend. Your social circles will influence your spending.
Hey just graduated CBS. My rent was $1350 with columbia housing. Food and fun may have been an extra <$1000 a month. Total expenses around 2.5 - 3K a month, excluding travel.
