Stony Brook University (Honors College) or New York University (CAS) for premed

Need help to decide whether NYU CAS or Stony Brook University (Honors College) would be better choice for DS for pre-med. NYU would be about 40K (will be commuting) and Stony would be on campus (15K) but got merit full tuition scholarship for 4 years. He also got into University of Rochester, Skidmore, Union Scholars but we are not considering those because of much high price and distance from NYC. NYU I heard is more prestigious but I also hear that Stony Brook has very strong premed education.

I have been accepted to the Stony Brook BS/MD Program. My initial UG will be as a University Scholar [Honors College Biology]. I was weighing this option against NYU, UPenn, and Columbia. In my research, consistently I have been hearing good things about SB, about research opportunities, about the faculty, and also how the tuition scholarship will be super valuable when considering med school later on. Please DM me if you decide to commit.
