About Astoria, New York

Astoria is a neighborhood in the western portion of the New York City borough of Queens. Hallett's acreage, granted by New Amsterdam director general Peter Stuyvesant, extended from the East River to about 29th Street; the northern boundary was a brook south of today's 25th Avenue and the southern boundary was Sunswick Creek. The neighborhood has often been featured in various media; in film and television, the area is either featured as Astoria or as a setting for another location in New York City. (Wikipedia)

Strong value

Graduates here tend to earn well relative to what they borrow — typical debt pays back fast, and most out-earn a high-school graduate.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
