A little known fact is that there ARE colleges in the U.S. that offer to meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need. I think it’s less than 1% of colleges in the U.S., but THEY ARE OUT THERE! I go to Reed College in Portland, and my financial aid award is very generous- as in, they’re covering everything that my Pell grants and federal loans aren’t covering. I actually don’t need to take out the full amount of federal loans I qualify for thanks to my financial aid package. Another college I applied to that does this is the University of Richmond in Virginia. So there are a few schools in the U.S. that will meet your financial need, but this isn’t well-known unfortunately. These schools do tend to be more selective though (Reed has a 31% acceptance rate) but it seems as though a lot of the places you applied to are selective.
Im about to go to a 100% need met school but its still gonna cost me over 10k a year despite my custodial parent only making 20k a year. Having divorced parents is a big yikes for financial aid
OMG, you're right, I just received back my award letter from Richmond and they were VERY generous! I was like "what did I do to deserve this" lol. Ik this was 2 years ago but do u go to Richmond now?
It's really great that you are being careful with student loans, I feel like it's very easy to justify taking out a lot of money for certain schools, but then you're entering the "real world" with an inconceivable amount of debt. I graduated last year and I'm going to have to start paying on my loans very soon, and even though my balance is less than the national average, it's still a monthly payment for the next ten years!
this was a great video idea!! i’m so sorry to hear about all your struggles but i know you’ll figure everything out and i can’t wait to see where your school journey goes
just... ignoring the other comments (not worth the stress lol). thanks for sharing this with us. As a high school senior, these type of conversations are very important including in social media, and it means A LOT for you to be looking out for younger low income students who want to get EDUCATED. Please don’t let other people drag you down... they really need to be more respectful of others’ decisions. ❤️❤️❤️
every tuition you mentioned I was like OOF. and NYU!? YOU KIDDIN ME I live in Iowa and get in-state tuition at Iowa State, it's like $8000 a year (not including room and board). I get merit scholarships, but I also take out a federal loan and I've taken out some private loans as well. I still love it tho!!! My parents don't pay for anything in regards to big bills at school either, but they do pay for my car which is really nice. Best of luck girl!!!
If you don't pick one of these schools for the fall it seems that the most reasonable plan is to go to a california community college for a year and then transfer to a UC the following year when you qualify as an independent student for fafsa. This would be among the most financially responsible choices even though I know you don't want to take on a year at a community college. Just see it as one last sacrifice instead of spending heaps of money. Best of luck!
THANK YOU for this video, I am applying to most of the same colleges you did (and am in more or less the same financial situation as you) so it's great to get an idea of financial aid
czech republic universities are for free and are actually so great. these prices are insane that you shared w us in the video!!... czech republic is also very affordable for people coming from different countries (for us not so much haha). lots of love hope you are all well xx
hey Tiff! I suggest you re-file your FAFSA! I'm not exactly sure how old you are, but I'm only 23 and I turn 24 in November, and I qualified as an independent student, and got a lot of aid for the schools I applied to (thank god because my parents aren't helping me). I'm in a very similar situation as you. I did a lot of research on this and found out that as long as you are turning 24 by the fall of 2018, you should be considered independent. the age to qualify is not 25, so I'm not sure why you would still be dependent...even if you are living at home, you're age alone should be enough to qualify. I reallllly suggest you submit your forms again because you will probably get more aid. it sucks because you have to be very careful when filling out the questions, and one little thing can throw you off and put you as dependent. I hope this helps! you can also go to FAFSA's website and look at "dependency status" and it will tell you if you are at least turning 24, married, or in the military then you qualify as independent!
Wow university/colleges in the USA are crazy expensive... I live in Ontario and my tuition is 6,000 a year.... which i thought was a lot. RIP Tiff's bank account
She’s chosen the most expensive universities in the country (all of which are private) in the most expensive cities. The cost of American college is very overplayed. It is possible to get through with little to no debt if you make smart choices - it’s just that most people don’t. That’s understandable, because many of those people were 17/18 and pushed into their choices, but Tiff is almost in her mid-twenties and needs to grow up and take responsibility. Maybe the reason she doesn’t have money is because she blows it on camping trips and study abroad?
I get the desire to put everything on hold to make sure you're with your boyfriend, but for all the work you're doing for this degree, I don't really understand saying no to St. Francis when you can finish college in two years and have this stressful situation be over with for the most part (except for loans). Love is super amazing, but don't put a relationship above your future and career.
Have you thought about..... Metropolitan State University of Denver? It’s a beautiful green campus in downtown Denver. Colorado is awesome. The tuition is SO cheap. They do the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) scholarship, so as a west coast gal they give you even cheaper tuition (I was an AZ resident). Denver is cool because it’s tons of young professionals and a super active/green/ hip city without the chaos of LA or NY. MSU take applications all year round and consider themselves a low cost university. They walk the walk and talk the talk. I had the best undergraduate experience (psych major and writing minor). It’s not a traditional school bc it’s a huge mix of people who go there, but I loved the city vibe and how independent the school culture was. Tons of people worked. Not just 18 year olds being paid through college. ANYWAYS- super random- but had to share because I understand the college struggle and spent so much time hoping to get a paid way to all the cool private schools. I’m so glad life worked out differently. I came out with no debt (now took on a ton of student debt to do a PhD in Scotland but that’s another story....) Best of luck to you. It will all work out. At the end of the day some loans and money will have to be sacrificed- but make sure it’s not just for a random school that sounds good, but for a lifestyle that makes you happy and comfortable. Best wishes!!!!!!!! Xoxo
Hey friend, not in a mean way AT ALL, but there is always a way. Not saying that it's easy or that you would want to but I had the same situation. Didn't ask my parents, did my own taxes and they have 4 kids. But actually I lived on my own and payed the entire way, $3500 total loans. Anyway... Take a year off and work you can make it. You can easily make $28,000 a year and live at home. You can also work part time and support yourself. Just don't ever accept that you can't do something. You seem to let life get you down, don't. You got this. Best wishes.
Tina Krabbit Totally agree with you, we have the same mindset! Currently in more or less the same financial dilemma as Tiffany because I'm also applying to US colleges (from abroad) and I know I will find a way to make it work, whether that's work/study, finishing my degree online or something else but I'm confident I will make it! :)
Have you visited St. Francis? Sometimes that makes the biggest difference. Out of all the schools I applied to, I’m attending the one that was 5/8 on my list. I got into my top choices but when I visited the school I ended up accepting my admission to it felt right. You never know what you truly want til you feel it for yourself, and if you visit your best options (which seem like Fordham and St. Francis), you might end up knowing which is the best for you despite some factors that come into play. At this point your education is becoming and investment and rather than giving up on that you might have to take a risk and see where it goes. Love u hope this turns out well!! Rooting for u 🤪
ok tiffany I get where your coming from. you should really consider direct enrolling in a school abroad. I feel that's what you were trying to accomplish with U of Paris and Richmond but those schools are so big that the tuition is bound to be expensive. I am an American that was just accepted to a university in Lyon, France and I will be paying the same tuition as a french citizen to go there which is between 200-400 euros. I am transferring there from an American university because it is so much less expensive and I will not be "losing" any of the credits I earned as I have been accepted into license 2 (basically Junior level) and their system is a 3 year system. Also with their tuition being so low even if I did lose a year overall I am paying so little in comparison to US tuition doing an extra year is genuinely worth the money I am saving by not going to school in the US. I completely understand how done you are with the price of university in the US, I'm done with it too. I also see how your relationship with nathan is an important factor as well. my boyfriend is french so that did influence my decision to transfer as well. anyways look in university abroad more it IS worth it and I would be happy to help you with the process.
Have you ever thought of applying to schools in Canada? I know you've applied to international schools before but they were american institutions.. The tuition costs for an international student are at least 10k-20k below what some of those schools you applied for are. American tuition costs seem ridiculously high... A domestic student in Canada who is living at home pays less than 10k a year for a degree. You should check it out! Canada is not a bad country and there are many schools such as U of T, UBC, and McGill that internationally recognized as good institutions and a couple hours away from major cities in America. They might even accept your credits, you just have to talk to the school first to figure out how they treat international transfer students.
Wow its really eye opening to see the price of tuition in America and the aid you can get. I am very lucky to live in Scotland where Student Award Agency Scotland pays my tuition (£1,500 per year) for me. We also get a bursary of £500 every year and depending of your parents income if its below £34,000 you get a loan of £5,750 a year that is 0.3% apr. They should really support yous more as it must be very stressful to be having such debt before your career fully starts. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! :)
I don’t mean to be rude but why don’t you just continue at loyola? It’s a pretty great university and I guess that you are currently receiving an acceptable amount of aid that makes it affordable for you. Be happy with what you have already. I know you deserve better but if life doesn’t want to help is for a reason...
I think expanding your prospects outside the most expensive places to live in is a necessity. It would be a poor decision to add another 10+ grand in living expenses on top of tuition loans. What about tuition assistance through Starbucks? An ASU degree is better than no degree. 🥓👍

The FAP from NYU didn’t surprise me. As I explained in 1 of your previous videos.. the prestigious schools are unaffordable because are intended 4 people who can actually pay them: people who belong in the rich people cycle. Your FAP is a tactic used 2 discourage you from applying again or applying to any other private school. LMU gave me 28000$ in grants and I would have 2 get almost 12000$ in private loans + 9000$ (federal loans) = almost 21000 which I would be willing to get but since CSULB has a better program 4 less $, I’ll go 2 Csulb. Tiffany, if your degree is important, get it! Private schools are not always the best choice there are many famous people who attended public schools. What matters is your talent and how passionate you are about what you wanna do. So keep going! If u don’t go this year you can go next year! You are still young and please don’t give up!
Hey Tiffany! I was just wondering, was your EFC considering your parents contribution estimate, or was it considering your finances only? I hope this makes sense haha. I'm assuming bc you were mentioning Parent Plus loans and saying youre dependent it's the former but yeah. thanks!
In the Netherlands, communication science is for ex at UvA (university of amsterdam), the cost per year is 2060 for eu students, around 9000€ for non eu students. They offer scholarships for non eu students though.. try look at it :) good luck!
Advice for people applying to college in the future who have financial need. Im a transfer student also and when looking for colleges I googled schools that meet 100% of financial need. It’s a really long list but the schools are pretty hard to get into. I’m from NYC and I’m going to UNC chapel hill because even though it’s out of state they meet 100% of financial need. I haven’t taken any loans out yet because I went to community college for the first two years so I said I didn’t want to take out more than $10,000 in loans. For UNC I have to take out loans for housing and a possible meal plan so $6,600-8,000. I was waitlisted to Vanderbilt by if I was/ or get accepted I wouldn’t have to take out any loans because they don’t include loans in their financial aid package. So lookout for schools that don’t include loans too. USC was my most expensive school I got into and after I got a merit scholarship from them they reduced my grant aid by that amount so it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. It covered all my tuition but I was hoping the scholarship could help with housing and if they wouldn’t have adjusted it that school would have been the one where I take out the least amount of loans. And by the way for me personally, SUNY schools wouldn’t have been the cheapest and I have no interest in staying in NYC so I didn’t even look at CUNY. I’ve never lived anywhere else and though nows my chance to see what other states are like
Look into St. Bonaventure University in upstate NY. They give great aid for a private school. Also, apartments in the area are way cheaper than NYC/LI areas. How about the HEOP program as well?
Why would you pay that much money every year for schools that aren't even that highly ranked (except for NYU), some are even unheard of, when you can get a great degree from a bunch of highly ranked European universities and not go into debt? On top of that, you're only looking at extremely expensive cities??? I don't understand. Have you looked into becoming a WA resident and going to UW Seattle? Low tuition fees for a very good school
It's extremely naive to say "just establish residency in Washington." State schools make it difficult to qualify for in-state tuition--it's not as simple as just moving somewhere. You have to be able to prove that going to a state college wasn't your sole reason for moving.
Even without becoming a WA resident, UW is still cheaper than the majority of the schools she's applied to and way better quality and reputation overall.
That could have been a good solution when Tiffany was looking at her options for college over a year ago! She could get a job there for a year and then go to college. There are options, I was just suggesting something! I still think a good European school is her best bet over the mediocre over-priced US schools she's mentioned in this video.
if you did st francis college, could you not do the study abroad program again? it seems like you can go to the UK, which means you could be near your boyfriend for a semester! the cost of living might be cheaper than living in NY for that semester as well. (although i totally get that its not one of your first choices)
Quick question when you first started college when your EFC was zero did you get full cost of attendance and financial aid at the private universities you applied to? I am asking because my biggest fear of going into college this year at a private university is growing a tad older and having my EFC increase and not being able to afford university anymore like when I was as a freshman. Pleaseee answer!
Hey did you know that UC Santa Cruz is accepting transfer apps for the winter quarter. Maybe you can wait another semester, because I know the UCs give a better aid package overall.
Why not the Cal States. If your a California resident you should get the in state tuition of like $6,700 and cal grant b pays for about almost all of it. Plus you get a Pell Grant and a student transfer grant. There's some in some pretty affordable cities also like Bakersfield, Channel Islands, Chico State. Best of luck to you luv!
Have you considered other universities in the UK? For American friends at my uni tuition is ~£18,000 per year, although I'm not sure how much international funding covers
When do they send financial packages with all the need based aid and cal grant and all that? I just got into Chapman yesterday, but all they told me was my merit scholarship. SO EXPENSIVE!!!
Okay I was watching you since last year when you had that whole transfer dilema and actually felt bad for you but now I feel like you’re just being wayyyy too picky and not making smart decisions. Why did you apply to only such expensive schools? There are cheaper schools both public and private. And even now, you are not choosing the schools that could be relatively affordable for you if you really just want to finish your degree but you’re being super picky about them! LMU and St. Francis weren’t that bad. You should have run net price calculators and done your research before applying , you even went through the application process twice so there’s really no excuse. I just want you to know I’m not trying to hate because I’m a college freshman and I understand the difficulty of getting in & being able to afford college and I want to see you succeed but it feels like you are making uninformed decisions and picking the most expensive cities and schools. I get that NYC and LA are great for film but at THIS point, u gotta do what u gotta do to just get the degree. Wishing you luck :/

You should look into joining the military. Will help you pay down existing loans, save money, use tuition assistant to pay for college classes while in, and then have the GI Bill when you get out.
I think you should move back to California with your family, work and save some money and apply the UCs and CSUs next year. For your situation you really don’t have much choices other than take out loans if you insist on going to the schools you applied this year.
Wow I knew that American schools were more expensive than Canadian schools but I never knew by how much! I go to one of the top universities in Canada, I am a science student and my tuition is $7000 per year, which is considered high for my program compared to other Canadian schools. The states really needs to work on making higher education more affordable.
Oh geez. :-( I was accepted into Syracuse University and I’m low-income. Their tuition is $70,636. After financial aid and scholarships I’m only paying $11,000 a year. It’s still quite a bit but from almost $71k to $11k, I’m extremely happy. These financial aid packages did you dirty. :/
which college did you apply ? did you feel overwhelmed with loans ? I am having the same situation rights now and my family wanted me to choose a very affordable college, but I love one of the college which I will be having about 8,000 loans each year. Any options ?
I wish I had seen this before I went to my first year of school. I'm currently taking time off and trying to find somewhere that I can afford. Its funny because I'm in almost the same exact situation as you except I can't take out any personal loans! if you have any suggestions to help please lmk
This is crazy!! In Ireland college is about €3500 a year for a public university ( most our public college) . About %60 of students are able to get government grants and maintenance money monthly. And there is on going protest over the cost of college and saying no to student loans in Ireland
Remember all financial aid has to eventually be paid back. If you need help filling out the fafsa or planning for college overall we can help. If you need help negotiating financial aid with schools we can help. We can tell you who to call and what to say in order to get a better financial aid package.
Wow where do I find financially responsible lady like you... anyways, Hamilton college and Northeastern are great options as they meet 100% need. Got a full package for a fraction of your yearly cost from Hamilton and about double that for NEU.
Wow interesting how Richmond American uni only cost £9,500 a year for UK/ European students which is the equivalent to $12,400 , where as you’re required to pay $38,000 seems a bit excessive
I struggled to afforded undergrad as well. My parents took about $20,000 and I have $30,000. I lived off ramen and cancel my meal plan. First year was the most expensive. I’m now going to grad school so $20,500 for the first year. Fun times. You will make it work. I did go to a state school so instate tuition is much better.
I recently had to decline acceptance into a nationally ranked art school because I couldn’t afford to go. With financial aid, I would still have to come up with 15k a year (not to mention this is based on in state tuition). Totally bogus considering I have a child and my parents aren’t in a position to help me with school 🤷♀️ I’m gonna stick with community college, haha. Good luck, I hope you can find a school that doesn’t fuck you over too bad financially.
i don't get it u tell us u can't afford any of the schools but then u can afford st francis but yOu dONt WaNt To but you asked your followers for money wHat Do yoU wAnt like do u really want to go to college? it doesn't seem like u want to make any effort and that its not THAT important to you. don't mind me its not my life
Kurta Krömer If getting into an university to earn a bachelor degree had not been that important to her, she would not have tried to transfer twice especially after a failure happened one year ago. She definitely made sincere efforts and has the freedom to choose where to go. As she said, affordability is not the only factor affecting her decision. It is legitimate and rational for an ambitious guy to try to get into a better one. You know that she is able to get accepted into NYU.
Jasmine Green probably because she got rejected for all of her choices last year, so wanted to use up all of the slots just in case (not sure what the maximum amount you can apply for in the US is...here its only 5)
krystal In the US you can apply to as many colleges as you like. It’s just a little dumb that she didn’t pick a safety that she at least liked enough to go to.
yo i'm so ashamed. i'm always a silent watcher, never comment, because my opinion doesn't matter in ur life. i think i had a really bad day or something. you don't need to defend your life choices to someone sitting on another continent behind a laptop, but thanks for the civil answer! hope you figure out what you want and need! sorry!
man american education is so freaking expensive :( it saddens me bc im a low income international student with big dreams of stydying in the us. im from chile and you could go to the best university here for free if you have a certain score in the national examination and we have state scholarships that cover your full tuition, my dreams are fully crushed tho
I think you should just focus on finishing your degree. You’ve wasted a ton of time and money and so far have nothing to show for it. You aren’t a 17 y/o. It’s time to stop looking for a “best fit”. At the end of the day college is a means to an end. You’re 23 please just get it done.
Nicole M Thank God someone feels the same way. I just don’t see any logic here. P.S. Congrats on your last year of college. I hope you go on to do amazing things 😊.
In fairness, she is a film production major, so getting a good job in her field might depend on alumni networks and location. That being said, film is one of those fields that doesn’t require a degree. If I were her, I’d just move out to one of these cities (LA, NYC, etc) and work odd jobs for a couple years to pay the bills and try to get experience, then apply again once she has more money saved up. Plus, that extra experience will really help her take advantage of her last two years, anyway. I also agree that it’s silly to apply to colleges she has no intention of attending... Plus, with her GPA and status as a CA resident, she could very easily get into a really good UC IF she took 1 year at community college to finish an associate’s degree in film (California public universities prioritize community college students, especially those who have finished associate’s degrees). This would be the cheapest option, by far, but it seems like she’s turning up her nose at CCs. As a person who’s attended both CCs and a UC, I actually recommend the CC more. Screw the stigma.
I feel like coming back home to California for one year and then reapplying so that she could get in-state tuition at either a CC or university would have been easier and faster. The California Community College system has A.A degrees for transfers and they even have them for film studies. I currently study film and I'm graduating with no debt. At some point, she's gonna have to either do the rational thing or just move to a film-friendly city and start working on her own. I'm not sure what fully goes on in her mind but I wish her the best of luck.

The tuition cost at each of these schools is almost equal to how much I’m paying as a law school student. Honestly, I feel it’s too late for you to be choosing really expensive schools to apply to, and not thinking practically in terms of how you are going to pay for it.
I just am blown away that how broken the college system is , Irish universities are €3000 a year and that’s excluding grants that you can apply for , and btw Irish universities are some of the best in the world.
Daniel It is not a broken system, it is about bad choices. American students are sold this 4 year dream college experience that they cant afford, despite having cheaper options locally. She admits if she had stayed in California she would not have an issue affording school. She screwed up and now is blaming the world that she cant pay to attend the most expensive private schools in the most expensive cities in the US.
Yeah, don’t buy into this. Most American college students go into debt because they choose to attend expensive private schools (instead of much cheaper public universities) and live away from home in big cities. For example, I attended community college for 2 years at $1500 per year, then transferred to a local university for $6000 a year for another two years. I lived with my parents and got free rent. I didn’t qualify for federal financial aid, but the vast majority of my peers did. I also live in an area where the average minimum wage was ~$12/hr, so I actually graduated with zero debt and tens of thousands in savings while paying my own way because I worked a lot didn’t blow money on the stupid American college dream. My path was somewhat unconventional, and my high school peers judged me for it when I first chose it, but it was 100% worth it and many of them are now jealous of me. Going to an inexpensive university allowed me to choose a degree that I really loved even though I knew it would not result in a high salary.
@@bethh.8237 1500 a yr? im going to cc and it's costing me way more than that. Though I am able to pay for all of it from financial aid, what cc did you go to?
Nicole M i had no idea that public universities there cost around 10.000$! i just know some stuff for the netherlands from my relatives and i just wanted to let her know that she has that alternative as well☺️
lotte onbekend | And rightly so! We’ve been paying high taxes for this. Would be weird if some American who’s never paid taxes here would just benefit from that.
at this point I had already gone through 2 years of college! (at a 4 year) but yes in general I highly recommend people consider a CC, they're a great option
Ok NYU did you really dirty... financial aid there is not great to begin with, but it’s probably a lot worse for transfers
NYU has a pretty strong reputation for 'rich kids only'. hadn't actually seen a package from them but now i see why!

OMG, you're right, I just received back my award letter from Richmond and they were VERY generous! I was like "what did I do to deserve this" lol. Ik this was 2 years ago but do u go to Richmond now?
I love how you talked about this because I feel like most people just act like their life is perfect but no you are so open and so real and I love it
It's really great that you are being careful with student loans, I feel like it's very easy to justify taking out a lot of money for certain schools, but then you're entering the "real world" with an inconceivable amount of debt. I graduated last year and I'm going to have to start paying on my loans very soon, and even though my balance is less than the national average, it's still a monthly payment for the next ten years!
this was a great video idea!! i’m so sorry to hear about all your struggles but i know you’ll figure everything out and i can’t wait to see where your school journey goes
just... ignoring the other comments (not worth the stress lol). thanks for sharing this with us. As a high school senior, these type of conversations are very important including in social media, and it means A LOT for you to be looking out for younger low income students who want to get EDUCATED. Please don’t let other people drag you down... they really need to be more respectful of others’ decisions. ❤️❤️❤️
every tuition you mentioned I was like OOF. and NYU!? YOU KIDDIN ME
I live in Iowa and get in-state tuition at Iowa State, it's like $8000 a year (not including room and board). I get merit scholarships, but I also take out a federal loan and I've taken out some private loans as well. I still love it tho!!! My parents don't pay for anything in regards to big bills at school either, but they do pay for my car which is really nice. Best of luck girl!!!
If you don't pick one of these schools for the fall it seems that the most reasonable plan is to go to a california community college for a year and then transfer to a UC the following year when you qualify as an independent student for fafsa. This would be among the most financially responsible choices even though I know you don't want to take on a year at a community college. Just see it as one last sacrifice instead of spending heaps of money. Best of luck!
THANK YOU for this video, I am applying to most of the same colleges you did (and am in more or less the same financial situation as you) so it's great to get an idea of financial aid
I love your videos as a Jill Stein fan and college myself its nice to find someone with the same views me. kudos keep it up.
Have you tried lottery?
My best friend graduated from St. Francis last year. It’s a good school and the most reasonable to go to imo. I hope everything works out
czech republic universities are for free and are actually so great. these prices are insane that you shared w us in the video!!... czech republic is also very affordable for people coming from different countries (for us not so much haha). lots of love hope you are all well xx
Love youuuuuuuuuu. Thank you for the information 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I go to NYU and they actually give pretty decent financial aid if you're from NYC. Good luck on your college journey
How're u doin after 2 years?
Hey girl I think you should give st. Francis a try! You might actually like it :)
hey Tiff! I suggest you re-file your FAFSA! I'm not exactly sure how old you are, but I'm only 23 and I turn 24 in November, and I qualified as an independent student, and got a lot of aid for the schools I applied to (thank god because my parents aren't helping me). I'm in a very similar situation as you. I did a lot of research on this and found out that as long as you are turning 24 by the fall of 2018, you should be considered independent. the age to qualify is not 25, so I'm not sure why you would still be dependent...even if you are living at home, you're age alone should be enough to qualify. I reallllly suggest you submit your forms again because you will probably get more aid. it sucks because you have to be very careful when filling out the questions, and one little thing can throw you off and put you as dependent. I hope this helps!
you can also go to FAFSA's website and look at "dependency status" and it will tell you if you are at least turning 24, married, or in the military then you qualify as independent!
go to st. francis??
Wow university/colleges in the USA are crazy expensive... I live in Ontario and my tuition is 6,000 a year.... which i thought was a lot.
RIP Tiff's bank account
She’s chosen the most expensive universities in the country (all of which are private) in the most expensive cities. The cost of American college is very overplayed. It is possible to get through with little to no debt if you make smart choices - it’s just that most people don’t. That’s understandable, because many of those people were 17/18 and pushed into their choices, but Tiff is almost in her mid-twenties and needs to grow up and take responsibility. Maybe the reason she doesn’t have money is because she blows it on camping trips and study abroad?
I feel you! Tuition is crazy expensive and that's not even including the overpriced dorms, textbooks, and food plans colleges make you get :/
I get the desire to put everything on hold to make sure you're with your boyfriend, but for all the work you're doing for this degree, I don't really understand saying no to St. Francis when you can finish college in two years and have this stressful situation be over with for the most part (except for loans). Love is super amazing, but don't put a relationship above your future and career.
Have you thought about..... Metropolitan State University of Denver? It’s a beautiful green campus in downtown Denver. Colorado is awesome. The tuition is SO cheap. They do the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) scholarship, so as a west coast gal they give you even cheaper tuition (I was an AZ resident). Denver is cool because it’s tons of young professionals and a super active/green/ hip city without the chaos of LA or NY. MSU take applications all year round and consider themselves a low cost university. They walk the walk and talk the talk. I had the best undergraduate experience (psych major and writing minor). It’s not a traditional school bc it’s a huge mix of people who go there, but I loved the city vibe and how independent the school culture was. Tons of people worked. Not just 18 year olds being paid through college. ANYWAYS- super random- but had to share because I understand the college struggle and spent so much time hoping to get a paid way to all the cool private schools. I’m so glad life worked out differently. I came out with no debt (now took on a ton of student debt to do a PhD in Scotland but that’s another story....) Best of luck to you. It will all work out. At the end of the day some loans and money will have to be sacrificed- but make sure it’s not just for a random school that sounds good, but for a lifestyle that makes you happy and comfortable. Best wishes!!!!!!!! Xoxo
I totally thought of this school but I figured coming to Colorado would be random for her 👍🏻
sooooo helpful. love u
the room you're filming in looks dark but your lighting is still good! did you use a ring light? if so which one lol im on the search
By any chance is there a new episode of the podcast coming I LIVE for them
Thanks so much for doing it camp is a hectic time !
Hey friend, not in a mean way AT ALL, but there is always a way. Not saying that it's easy or that you would want to but I had the same situation. Didn't ask my parents, did my own taxes and they have 4 kids. But actually I lived on my own and payed the entire way, $3500 total loans. Anyway... Take a year off and work you can make it. You can easily make $28,000 a year and live at home. You can also work part time and support yourself. Just don't ever accept that you can't do something. You seem to let life get you down, don't. You got this. Best wishes.
Tina Krabbit Totally agree with you, we have the same mindset! Currently in more or less the same financial dilemma as Tiffany because I'm also applying to US colleges (from abroad) and I know I will find a way to make it work, whether that's work/study, finishing my degree online or something else but I'm confident I will make it! :)
Have you visited St. Francis? Sometimes that makes the biggest difference. Out of all the schools I applied to, I’m attending the one that was 5/8 on my list. I got into my top choices but when I visited the school I ended up accepting my admission to it felt right. You never know what you truly want til you feel it for yourself, and if you visit your best options (which seem like Fordham and St. Francis), you might end up knowing which is the best for you despite some factors that come into play. At this point your education is becoming and investment and rather than giving up on that you might have to take a risk and see where it goes. Love u hope this turns out well!! Rooting for u 🤪
Hey, you should check out german universitys, they got a bunch of English programs and only have a very small tuition fee for non EU-residents :)
ok tiffany I get where your coming from. you should really consider direct enrolling in a school abroad. I feel that's what you were trying to accomplish with U of Paris and Richmond but those schools are so big that the tuition is bound to be expensive. I am an American that was just accepted to a university in Lyon, France and I will be paying the same tuition as a french citizen to go there which is between 200-400 euros. I am transferring there from an American university because it is so much less expensive and I will not be "losing" any of the credits I earned as I have been accepted into license 2 (basically Junior level) and their system is a 3 year system. Also with their tuition being so low even if I did lose a year overall I am paying so little in comparison to US tuition doing an extra year is genuinely worth the money I am saving by not going to school in the US. I completely understand how done you are with the price of university in the US, I'm done with it too. I also see how your relationship with nathan is an important factor as well. my boyfriend is french so that did influence my decision to transfer as well. anyways look in university abroad more it IS worth it and I would be happy to help you with the process.
Have you ever thought of applying to schools in Canada? I know you've applied to international schools before but they were american institutions.. The tuition costs for an international student are at least 10k-20k below what some of those schools you applied for are. American tuition costs seem ridiculously high... A domestic student in Canada who is living at home pays less than 10k a year for a degree. You should check it out! Canada is not a bad country and there are many schools such as U of T, UBC, and McGill that internationally recognized as good institutions and a couple hours away from major cities in America. They might even accept your credits, you just have to talk to the school first to figure out how they treat international transfer students.
You can wait a year and try to go to UCSC again. The Cal and pell grants may cover your whole tuition.
Since you’re a California resident, you should look into the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)
omg your eyes are soooo beautiful!!!
Wow its really eye opening to see the price of tuition in America and the aid you can get. I am very lucky to live in Scotland where Student Award Agency Scotland pays my tuition (£1,500 per year) for me. We also get a bursary of £500 every year and depending of your parents income if its below £34,000 you get a loan of £5,750 a year that is 0.3% apr. They should really support yous more as it must be very stressful to be having such debt before your career fully starts. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! :)
Have you looked into Queens College? It seems affordable like St.Francis but the school itself is larger
I don’t mean to be rude but why don’t you just continue at loyola? It’s a pretty great university and I guess that you are currently receiving an acceptable amount of aid that makes it affordable for you. Be happy with what you have already. I know you deserve better but if life doesn’t want to help is for a reason...
Oh, ok. I wish you the best then. You’ll go far in life no matter what college you end up graduating from.
I think expanding your prospects outside the most expensive places to live in is a necessity. It would be a poor decision to add another 10+ grand in living expenses on top of tuition loans. What about tuition assistance through Starbucks? An ASU degree is better than no degree. 🥓👍
Go to a state school? I’m just confused. It doesn’t seem like you know what you are want.
Peace be upon you
I am from Syria Financial assistance My mother is sick She was a cancer patient She did a process of short duration but we have no money to fill the debt process Please help me We have no help please
A Lebanese mother who has no meat?
The FAP from NYU didn’t surprise me. As I explained in 1 of your previous videos.. the prestigious schools are unaffordable because are intended 4 people who can actually pay them: people who belong in the rich people cycle. Your FAP is a tactic used 2 discourage you from applying again or applying to any other private school. LMU gave me 28000$ in grants and I would have 2 get almost 12000$ in private loans + 9000$ (federal loans) = almost 21000 which I would be willing to get but since CSULB has a better program 4 less $, I’ll go 2 Csulb. Tiffany, if your degree is important, get it! Private schools are not always the best choice there are many famous people who attended public schools. What matters is your talent and how passionate you are about what you wanna do. So keep going! If u don’t go this year you can go next year! You are still young and please don’t give up!
Hey Tiffany! I was just wondering, was your EFC considering your parents contribution estimate, or was it considering your finances only? I hope this makes sense haha. I'm assuming bc you were mentioning Parent Plus loans and saying youre dependent it's the former but yeah. thanks!
In the Netherlands, communication science is for ex at UvA (university of amsterdam), the cost per year is 2060 for eu students, around 9000€ for non eu students. They offer scholarships for non eu students though.. try look at it :) good luck!
GIRL go to St. Francis!!!
Advice for people applying to college in the future who have financial need. Im a transfer student also and when looking for colleges I googled schools that meet 100% of financial need. It’s a really long list but the schools are pretty hard to get into. I’m from NYC and I’m going to UNC chapel hill because even though it’s out of state they meet 100% of financial need. I haven’t taken any loans out yet because I went to community college for the first two years so I said I didn’t want to take out more than $10,000 in loans. For UNC I have to take out loans for housing and a possible meal plan so $6,600-8,000. I was waitlisted to Vanderbilt by if I was/ or get accepted I wouldn’t have to take out any loans because they don’t include loans in their financial aid package. So lookout for schools that don’t include loans too. USC was my most expensive school I got into and after I got a merit scholarship from them they reduced my grant aid by that amount so it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. It covered all my tuition but I was hoping the scholarship could help with housing and if they wouldn’t have adjusted it that school would have been the one where I take out the least amount of loans. And by the way for me personally, SUNY schools wouldn’t have been the cheapest and I have no interest in staying in NYC so I didn’t even look at CUNY. I’ve never lived anywhere else and though nows my chance to see what other states are like
Look into St. Bonaventure University in upstate NY. They give great aid for a private school. Also, apartments in the area are way cheaper than NYC/LI areas. How about the HEOP program as well?
Why would you pay that much money every year for schools that aren't even that highly ranked (except for NYU), some are even unheard of, when you can get a great degree from a bunch of highly ranked European universities and not go into debt? On top of that, you're only looking at extremely expensive cities??? I don't understand.
Have you looked into becoming a WA resident and going to UW Seattle? Low tuition fees for a very good school
It's extremely naive to say "just establish residency in Washington." State schools make it difficult to qualify for in-state tuition--it's not as simple as just moving somewhere. You have to be able to prove that going to a state college wasn't your sole reason for moving.
Even without becoming a WA resident, UW is still cheaper than the majority of the schools she's applied to and way better quality and reputation overall.
After 12 months of living here, yes you can apply for residency.
That could have been a good solution when Tiffany was looking at her options for college over a year ago! She could get a job there for a year and then go to college. There are options, I was just suggesting something! I still think a good European school is her best bet over the mediocre over-priced US schools she's mentioned in this video.
do transfers to UW Seattle get a lot of aid?? I'm going to a cc and then planning to transfer there
if you did st francis college, could you not do the study abroad program again? it seems like you can go to the UK, which means you could be near your boyfriend for a semester! the cost of living might be cheaper than living in NY for that semester as well. (although i totally get that its not one of your first choices)
Quick question when you first started college when your EFC was zero did you get full cost of attendance and financial aid at the private universities you applied to? I am asking because my biggest fear of going into college this year at a private university is growing a tad older and having my EFC increase and not being able to afford university anymore like when I was as a freshman. Pleaseee answer!
Hey did you know that UC Santa Cruz is accepting transfer apps for the winter quarter. Maybe you can wait another semester, because I know the UCs give a better aid package overall.
Love you! I hope the best for you. You are a great person.
Why not the Cal States. If your a California resident you should get the in state tuition of like $6,700 and cal grant b pays for about almost all of it. Plus you get a Pell Grant and a student transfer grant. There's some in some pretty affordable cities also like Bakersfield, Channel Islands, Chico State. Best of luck to you luv!
Have you considered other universities in the UK? For American friends at my uni tuition is ~£18,000 per year, although I'm not sure how much international funding covers
When do they send financial packages with all the need based aid and cal grant and all that? I just got into Chapman yesterday, but all they told me was my merit scholarship. SO EXPENSIVE!!!
Okay I was watching you since last year when you had that whole transfer dilema and actually felt bad for you but now I feel like you’re just being wayyyy too picky and not making smart decisions. Why did you apply to only such expensive schools? There are cheaper schools both public and private. And even now, you are not choosing the schools that could be relatively affordable for you if you really just want to finish your degree but you’re being super picky about them! LMU and St. Francis weren’t that bad. You should have run net price calculators and done your research before applying , you even went through the application process twice so there’s really no excuse. I just want you to know I’m not trying to hate because I’m a college freshman and I understand the difficulty of getting in & being able to afford college and I want to see you succeed but it feels like you are making uninformed decisions and picking the most expensive cities and schools. I get that NYC and LA are great for film but at THIS point, u gotta do what u gotta do to just get the degree. Wishing you luck :/
Peace be upon you
I am from Syria Financial assistance My mother is sick She was a cancer patient She did a process of short duration but we have no money to fill the debt process Please help me We have no help please
A Lebanese mother who has no meat?
did u consider going to a cuny school in ny? those r at most $8,000 and r rly great + financial aid!
Come to Texas great prices for tuition!
Ivan Herrera Still in the same situation as her.
Eva Flynn well maybe if you attend UT Austin or Baylor etc. If you pick a more reasonable school it shouldn't cost as much as New York and California.
You should look into joining the military. Will help you pay down existing loans, save money, use tuition assistant to pay for college classes while in, and then have the GI Bill when you get out.
Lar Ada-Koski I wish I would have done this when I was out of high school. Plus the va home loan is really great and insurance for life!
I think you should move back to California with your family, work and save some money and apply the UCs and CSUs next year. For your situation you really don’t have much choices other than take out loans if you insist on going to the schools you applied this year.
Wow I knew that American schools were more expensive than Canadian schools but I never knew by how much! I go to one of the top universities in Canada, I am a science student and my tuition is $7000 per year, which is considered high for my program compared to other Canadian schools. The states really needs to work on making higher education more affordable.
Is the cost of tuition the reason you dropped out from the university you did the first 2 years at?
HI QUEEN
Oh geez. :-( I was accepted into Syracuse University and I’m low-income. Their tuition is $70,636. After financial aid and scholarships I’m only paying $11,000 a year. It’s still quite a bit but from almost $71k to $11k, I’m extremely happy. These financial aid packages did you dirty. :/
which college did you apply ? did you feel overwhelmed with loans ? I am having the same situation rights now and my family wanted me to choose a very affordable college, but I love one of the college which I will be having about 8,000 loans each year. Any options ?
I wish I had seen this before I went to my first year of school. I'm currently taking time off and trying to find somewhere that I can afford. Its funny because I'm in almost the same exact situation as you except I can't take out any personal loans! if you have any suggestions to help please lmk
This is crazy!! In Ireland college is about €3500 a year for a public university ( most our public college) . About %60 of students are able to get government grants and maintenance money monthly. And there is on going protest over the cost of college and saying no to student loans in Ireland
Remember all financial aid has to eventually be paid back. If you need
help filling out the fafsa or planning for college overall we can help.
If you need help negotiating financial aid with schools we can help. We can
tell you who to call and what to say in order to get a better financial
aid package.
Wow where do I find financially responsible lady like you... anyways, Hamilton college and Northeastern are great options as they meet 100% need. Got a full package for a fraction of your yearly cost from Hamilton and about double that for NEU.
Can you still receive financial aid if your parents don’t fill out taxes ?
Wow interesting how Richmond American uni only cost £9,500 a year for UK/ European students which is the equivalent to $12,400 , where as you’re required to pay $38,000 seems a bit excessive
I struggled to afforded undergrad as well. My parents took about $20,000 and I have $30,000. I lived off ramen and cancel my meal plan. First year was the most expensive.
I’m now going to grad school so $20,500 for the first year. Fun times. You will make it work.
I did go to a state school so instate tuition is much better.
Bruuhhhh in Belgium tuition is like €900 a year, and with your financial situation you'd almost certainly only have to pay €107 a year
I’m in a really similar situation and idk what to do rip
I recently had to decline acceptance into a nationally ranked art school because I couldn’t afford to go. With financial aid, I would still have to come up with 15k a year (not to mention this is based on in state tuition). Totally bogus considering I have a child and my parents aren’t in a position to help me with school 🤷♀️ I’m gonna stick with community college, haha. Good luck, I hope you can find a school that doesn’t fuck you over too bad financially.
Charles University in Prague!!!
i don't get it u tell us u can't afford any of the schools but then u can afford st francis but yOu dONt WaNt To but you asked your followers for money wHat Do yoU wAnt like do u really want to go to college? it doesn't seem like u want to make any effort and that its not THAT important to you. don't mind me its not my life
Kurta Krömer If getting into an university to earn a bachelor degree had not been that important to her, she would not have tried to transfer twice especially after a failure happened one year ago. She definitely made sincere efforts and has the freedom to choose where to go.
As she said, affordability is not the only factor affecting her decision. It is legitimate and rational for an ambitious guy to try to get into a better one. You know that she is able to get accepted into NYU.
tiffanyferg why apply then
Jasmine Green probably because she got rejected for all of her choices last year, so wanted to use up all of the slots just in case (not sure what the maximum amount you can apply for in the US is...here its only 5)
krystal In the US you can apply to as many colleges as you like. It’s just a little dumb that she didn’t pick a safety that she at least liked enough to go to.
yo i'm so ashamed. i'm always a silent watcher, never comment, because my opinion doesn't matter in ur life. i think i had a really bad day or something. you don't need to defend your life choices to someone sitting on another continent behind a laptop, but thanks for the civil answer! hope you figure out what you want and need! sorry!
You are so independent. I am the same way. Wouldn’t ask my parents for a dime although they could afford it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
what if you don't aid all 10 schools for FAFSA can you add a school later
I really want to know your decision with this
Have you thought about applying to CSUs?
why go to private colleges if they are not guaranteed to give you a leg up?
man american education is so freaking expensive :( it saddens me bc im a low income international student with big dreams of stydying in the us. im from chile and you could go to the best university here for free if you have a certain score in the national examination and we have state scholarships that cover your full tuition, my dreams are fully crushed tho
Please call NYU and ask them wth is up with your package. That is so ridiculous.
girl, do ur undergrad in Canada, even w/ international fees its cheaper
I think you should just focus on finishing your degree. You’ve wasted a ton of time and money and so far have nothing to show for it. You aren’t a 17 y/o. It’s time to stop looking for a “best fit”. At the end of the day college is a means to an end. You’re 23 please just get it done.
Nicole M Thank God someone feels the same way. I just don’t see any logic here.
P.S. Congrats on your last year of college. I hope you go on to do amazing things 😊.
In fairness, she is a film production major, so getting a good job in her field might depend on alumni networks and location. That being said, film is one of those fields that doesn’t require a degree. If I were her, I’d just move out to one of these cities (LA, NYC, etc) and work odd jobs for a couple years to pay the bills and try to get experience, then apply again once she has more money saved up. Plus, that extra experience will really help her take advantage of her last two years, anyway. I also agree that it’s silly to apply to colleges she has no intention of attending... Plus, with her GPA and status as a CA resident, she could very easily get into a really good UC IF she took 1 year at community college to finish an associate’s degree in film (California public universities prioritize community college students, especially those who have finished associate’s degrees). This would be the cheapest option, by far, but it seems like she’s turning up her nose at CCs. As a person who’s attended both CCs and a UC, I actually recommend the CC more. Screw the stigma.
I feel like coming back home to California for one year and then reapplying so that she could get in-state tuition at either a CC or university would have been easier and faster. The California Community College system has A.A degrees for transfers and they even have them for film studies. I currently study film and I'm graduating with no debt. At some point, she's gonna have to either do the rational thing or just move to a film-friendly city and start working on her own. I'm not sure what fully goes on in her mind but I wish her the best of luck.
Peace be upon you
I am from Syria Financial assistance My mother is sick She was a cancer patient She did a process of short duration but we have no money to fill the debt process Please help me We have no help please
A Lebanese mother who has no meat?
Is there a good person helping the refugee?
The tuition cost at each of these schools is almost equal to how much I’m paying as a law school student. Honestly, I feel it’s too late for you to be choosing really expensive schools to apply to, and not thinking practically in terms of how you are going to pay for it.
I go to a Cal State, my EFC is like 4,000 and I only pay about 6k a year lol
omg first
15k or less per year for tuition. Anything higher is madness.
I just am blown away that how broken the college system is , Irish universities are €3000 a year and that’s excluding grants that you can apply for , and btw Irish universities are some of the best in the world.
Daniel It is not a broken system, it is about bad choices. American students are sold this 4 year dream college experience that they cant afford, despite having cheaper options locally. She admits if she had stayed in California she would not have an issue affording school. She screwed up and now is blaming the world that she cant pay to attend the most expensive private schools in the most expensive cities in the US.
Yeah, don’t buy into this. Most American college students go into debt because they choose to attend expensive private schools (instead of much cheaper public universities) and live away from home in big cities. For example, I attended community college for 2 years at $1500 per year, then transferred to a local university for $6000 a year for another two years. I lived with my parents and got free rent. I didn’t qualify for federal financial aid, but the vast majority of my peers did. I also live in an area where the average minimum wage was ~$12/hr, so I actually graduated with zero debt and tens of thousands in savings while paying my own way because I worked a lot didn’t blow money on the stupid American college dream. My path was somewhat unconventional, and my high school peers judged me for it when I first chose it, but it was 100% worth it and many of them are now jealous of me. Going to an inexpensive university allowed me to choose a degree that I really loved even though I knew it would not result in a high salary.
@@bethh.8237 1500 a yr? im going to cc and it's costing me way more than that. Though I am able to pay for all of it from financial aid, what cc did you go to?
I want to add to your Fordham number. It’s about 84k/year with housing if you’re a student at the GSoB 😭
Hello there!
Come to OREGON
Come to Pennsylvania it’s much cheaper here 💯 look into school here they are nice and more affordable
apply to rhodes college!
lol from illinois. our state school costs at least $30,000 a year for in state
Urabana? Tbh. They do give out alot of money for people with good academics in state
I'm pretty sure you're considered independent according FAFSA after age 23, but don't quote me
this is true!
16k per year here.. living at home lol lame state commuter school... 0 dollars and 0 cents in aid, scholarships and grants.. all 4 years..I'm lucky
the netherlands have great universities with low fees❤️
marina alp for non-EU students they are still pretty expensive (€10.000 a year)
lotte onbekend im aware but they are still cheaper than us ones! 💛
Nicole M i had no idea that public universities there cost around 10.000$! i just know some stuff for the netherlands from my relatives and i just wanted to let her know that she has that alternative as well☺️
lotte onbekend | And rightly so! We’ve been paying high taxes for this. Would be weird if some American who’s never paid taxes here would just benefit from that.
Why not start at community college?
at this point I had already gone through 2 years of college! (at a 4 year) but yes in general I highly recommend people consider a CC, they're a great option
