Cooper Union vs Macaulay Honors at City vs Queens/Columbia 3-2 for Computer Science

Which one would be the best? I’ll be paying about 26k/yr for Cooper, free for City and 5k/yr at Queens, plus ??k/yr at Columbia after I transfer.

BTW Queens has a combined plan agreement with Columbia, where one majors in math/physics in Queens for three years and get a guaranteed transfer to Columbia SEAS (in my case in CS) as long as I maintain 3.3+ GPA (which should be trivially easy).

for Cooper Union, I would be majoring in EE with CompE track

trivially easy? really? that’s a bit too dismissive. I would recommend free. If your so certain to be so successful , undergrad will be a success and you will have no problem transferring wherever you would like. Cooper has way too
much administrative baggage these days to recommend to anyone.
