@sch482516 Can you elaborate? I’m in a similar position as OP, but my parents are insistent on me attending because of it’s location (20 min train ride). I did not get a lot of aid (16k), so it will be a lot. I told my parents that I am willing to go to a SUNY (they refuse since they don’t want me living on my own?), or a CUNY and then transfer out after two years somewhere else. I don’t know what to do.
