You mentioned education as a possibility - that might be a reason to stay in NY, if he might want to get a credential there.

I know Albany often isn’t as big of a draw as some other SUNY’s, but I’ve heard good things about the Honors College there, and being in the state capitol could be a plus for public policy involvement. Robust education programs too. Honors not only has its own housing and many of its own, smaller classes, but also confers priority registration which is a huge perk at any public university. If you dig into the opportunities here, you may find more than you expect to get excited about.

For OOS affordability, there’s always U of Maine’s Flagship Match program; it’s also a smaller flagship, with under 10K students.

Gettysburg is good for your areas of interest, and the top merit awards would get it down to cost parity with SUNY, I believe. Quinnippiac is good for education, among other fields. He’d probably get good merit at Miami of Ohio - might have more Greek life than you prefer, but with 30% participating, there are still more than twice as many non-Greek students as Greek.

Farther from home but guaranteed to be cheaper than SUNY, look at Truman State in MO and U of Minnesota Morris. Both are public liberal arts colleges that are strong academically but very affordable.
