About Rego Park, New York

Rego Park is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City. Rego Park is built on lands originally part of the Lenape Nation, possibly inhabited by members of the Canarsee band. By 1653, though, English and Dutch farmers moved into the area and founded a community called Whitepot, which was a part of the Township of Newtown. The 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street was filmed in part in Rego Park, at the now-demolished Shalimar Diner. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years)
$104,403
Typical debt at graduation
$25,730
Debt vs. one year's pay
25%
Out-earn a HS grad
91%

Typical debt would take roughly 2.5 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

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.

The pay gap here

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.

Women

Men
