CCNY w/ Macaulay BME major Vs. Hofstra w/ 4+4 BS/MD program

<p>okay guys i need your help. i still have a few responses i'm waiting for but considering my financial situation i'd need a miracle.
anyways so i need help deciding between CCNY and hofstra in order to narrow down my list</p>

<p>ccny is in the city and macaulay will make it free and will open me up to a whole new world of possibilities BUT, the whole 95% commuters really bothers me because i want some of that "college experience" and "campus life"</p>

<p>hofstra on the other hand has that life but from the people i've talked to the area is really boring. I'm a city girl and i've always grown up in the city so new york doesn't really dazzle me as much as people from outside the city.</p>

<p>my question is academically which would be the smarter choice
i plan on applying to med school so the 4+4 program facilitates that process for me. buuuut i don't want to be stuck in an environment where i will be unhappy or bored.
anyways i got a little off topic so sososo opinions thoughts anything
MAJOR: biomedical engineering
GOAL: get into med school
SCHOOLS? cony + macaulay vs hofstra 4+4 BS/MD program</p>
