Interesting story.

There was a moment at the rally when the nature of that beast was suddenly, and unforgettably, revealed; when "Mandy," an anonymous NYU junior, took the stage (face hidden by a mask from Eyes Wide Shut) to tell exactly how, and why, she had no choice but to become a prostitute to meet NYU's soaring price.
Her story -- of a shattering ordeal that's more widespread at NYU than any other school in the United States (as several media outlets have reported) -- left many standing there in tears. It is below in her own words.

Um....she could have gone to a cheaper school. Very rarely does someone actually have "no choice."

Yeah.... no.

She probably could've gone to a community college, done one year at a cheap college, and then transferred to NYU for her last year, but she liked sex with rich guys and making gobs of money.

She is lying. She became what she is because she wanted to afford where she wanted to be. It was her choice.

Is this a joke? She had many other options, as people always do. Convenient excuse is convenient.

Okay, did she not know how much tuition was going to be when she enrolled at NYU? If so, then I don't feel sorry for her.

I'm wondering how much of NYU's income is from sex worker industry now. Strange situation.

I bet she's lying

Oh yeah. NYU credit transferability is definitely on par with the University of Phoenix's.
Sounds like she's damaged a little upstairs and she found her appropriate profession. That's what college is all about.

When my only parent was injured and therefore unable to work, my professors rallied behind me and wrote to the administration on my behalf, asking for support. They were ignored.
I managed to keep my situation stable for a year, but this winter things became so bad I found myself homeless, and later, jobless. It took everything I had to pay NYU's fees for the next semester and to settle into a new place. As a first generation college student, I was determined not to let my circumstances prevent me from continuing my education. I didn't care what the cost was.
