<p>klyn – the difference between the CUNYs and the SUNYs is, unless I misunderstand your situation, you can live at home with a CUNY (although if accepted into the Honors program, you may get funding to cover housing). I can appreciate you do not want to live at home. That may not be possible. Also, I may be mistaken, but I think the CUNY application inludes as many CUNYs as you want for one price.</p>
