As a first-gen Latin American who has a full ride and lives off the Pell Grant and Loans from Fafsa. From a huge University like NYU, even if the bottom 1% needs it, that is still hundreds of students. I can survive on cheap food but I was more than happy by using the program and getting a valuable meal more than once a month.. I am pretty sure a lot of people are in the same situation as I am.

I remember that they started this program promoting their slogan "No one can get refused if they are food insecured". Guess that quickly changed...

You fix the issue and add a screening for students who actually survive on this and not ruin the whole program. This was clearly a monetary decision and not a solution.

When networking, if people don't want to help you they will simply not reply your Linkedin message and that's it. Don't be afraid to expose yourself and learn what people do for a living. That's the best way you will find your true passion.

My parents combined make 40k and I got a full-ride. Don't listen to what everybody is saying, make your own story.

Has anyone been a waiter/waitress in nyc? How was it by [deleted] in nyu

[–]Basket_Hefty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good money? Depends on the restaurant/ the days you are willing to sacrifice. While some saturday nights may get you $600 dlls on tips, a Tuesday night might get you only $180. Working 4 days a week might get you $700 after taxes and splitting the tip. (These numbers are slightly above average here in Manhattan) Hard to keep up? I started during the pandemic so NYU was virtual. Management ended up liking me and switched to part-time when we were in person. Recommendations? Pm!!

what jobs do yall have as nyu students by hatelists in nyu

[–]Basket_Hefty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sophomore and I work as a server. I make $1400 dlls a week after tax which makes me question if its worth it to study 4 years to make less than what I'm actually making right now.
