** Stanford is in California, not New York, but the area is still fairly pricey to live in. It's a fictional version of Stanford though, so artistic license can come into play and say that in this universe, the free tuition doesn't exist.

** Stanford is in California, not New York, but the area is still fairly pricey to live in. The movie made it seem like Kevin was paying for at least part of the tuition; Nina had a partial scholarship in the stage show, and the reason she drops out is because she has to work two jobs to support herself while studying.

** The cost of living in NY is relatively high, and even if you have free tuition, room and board can cost a lot, especially at a place like Stanford. It's also not counting other stuff that can cost a lot of money (books, lab fees, etc.).

* Stanford is free for students whose families make less than $75,000 a year, and gives full tuition to families that make less than $150,000 a year. While I'm not entirely sure what a dispatch owner's salary is, it doesn't seem like their family is financially comfortable enough to meet those thresholds?

* Non-Spanish speaker asking here: I read somewhere that "sueñito" is only used when someone says they're a little sleepy. If this is an error, why would Spanish-speaking Usnavi (and Lin-Manuel Miranda) make it?

** It's because Usnavi wasn't aware that Sonny is TheIllegal and that the family had been paying him in cash so the government wouldn't be alerted to his presence. Usnavi thought Sonny was documented just like his dad.
