OP, have you look at any of the CUNY schools? A good one for Physics majors would be CCNY (maybe Hunter, Queens, etc.). They are a number of CUNY senior colleges with Direct Admission up to July 13th, for fall 2017. Are any of the CUNYs within commuting distance to your residence in New Jersey?
BTW, have you given any thought to majoring in engineering as opposed to physics?
