The article quotes NYU's tuition as $31,000/year.
According to NYU's website, Tuition is $28,496/year, and housing is another ~$12k.

According to Vanderbilt's website, 2004/2005 tuition is $29,240. Housing is another ~6k.

I'm shocked to see how much it has gone up even since I graduated, but I'm also surprised that NYU is more expensive in total than Vandy, though a lot of that is cost-of-living.
