And I Thought My Loans Were Bad
Steve Stanzak is an NYU sophomore. In order to cut expenses, he's been living in the NYU library for the past 8 months:
But last summer he wasn't as lucky. Stanzak couldn't foot the $1,000 housing deposit and lost his family's support.
"My loans weren't approved with housing included," he said. "But when I dropped $15,000 in housing out of it, it worked."
The result: Stanzak could finance his education but was left without a place to hang his hat.
He then had an epiphany that would reshape his NYU experience.
"I heard a myth that somebody used to live in the library," he said. "Then I got to thinking, 'Why couldn't you do it?'"
That's certainly one way to deal with skyrocketing tuition costs...
