I hoped you picked the CUNY. You can’t go out and have fun if all your money is tied up in paying for school. My niece attended NYS schools (cc + SUNY), but never lived on campus or at home while she was in college. She got a job and shared an apartment with other college kids. Not that they were ever at home. They lived in a college town and were very social. Because they didn’t have large debt, she and a couple of her roommates were able to afford a trip to Europe the summer after graduation.

Being introverted and being shy are two separate things. Introverts get their energy from being alone; extroverts from being in large groups. Shyness is something you grow out of with age and experience. A true introvert might find a large SUNY draining unless s/he made time to recharge. It’s exciting to be away from home and try new things. I’d try to avoid taking on a large amount of debt to do it.
