<p>It has been 30 years since I worked in the SUNY system, but how about ESF that is adjacent to Syracuse. I do not know if what it offers is of any interest to you, but it is a small school in a city. You might also look at some of the two-year colleges in NY that have housing. The beauty of the SUNY system is that with a two-year degree, you are guaranteed admission to a four-year school as a junior. You may be more likely to get a little more $$$ from your home state.</p>
