This should be a no brainer, right?

<p>My choices right now with major points..</p>

<p>Cooper Union- free, extremely small and competitive, only one building, only one major (chemE)</p>

<p>Macaulay Honors College @ Hunter College- is a CUNY so not so great, but honors program gives some benefits like a free study abroad, macbook pro, free tuition and also dorm for 2 years (a single), but is a 30 minute commute to actual campus, which is only a couple of buildings</p>

<p>BU- far away, costs a bit of money (about 25k), has good majors except for that chemE that i MIGHT want</p>

<p>SUNY Stony brook- not a bad school, honors college, would only have to pay dorm, has every possible major that I might want</p>

<p>Now I think Stony Brook would be the obvious choice here. Am I wrong? Im unsure about major, possible Chemistry or Math or ChemE maybe ... completely undecided it might not be any of these.</p>

<p>Since you aren’t sure about your major, but BU doesn’t offer one of the majors that you are considering, this is between Macaulay and Stony Brook. Run the numbers here: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) and see whether paying for four years of housing at Stony Brook is going to break your budget. If you have to take loans out to live in a dorm, think twice about it. You want to keep your total debt within the maximum allowed by the Stafford Loans if at all possible.</p>

<p>Stony Brook seems to be the winner in my eyes</p>
