Almost five-thousand foreign students attended N-Y-U last year. University officials say New York City is a very popular and exciting place for young people. They also say foreign students want to study at N-Y-U because of its excellent programs in fourteen separate schools.

The foreign students at New York University come from more than one-hundred-thirty countries. Fifty percent are from Asia, especially Korea, Japan and China. Foreign students are studying in all fourteen schools within the university. These include arts and sciences, law, business and education. Seventy-five percent of the foreign students are in graduate school. About twenty-five percent are in four-year programs that lead to a bachelor’s degree.

Some other schools within N-Y-U cost more. Some cost less. The housing cost is about nine-thousand dollars a year.
