Good idea and also maxx out CLEP's, AP's and CollegeNow classes.
But the thing is I already got acceptance to 4 yr's cuny and suny. I am taking AP if you are wondering. Also can anyone recommend me any pre-pa program?
The pre"PA" classes are the same as the premed classes. They are weed out classes a large number of students who will probably end up dropping out of the program. You won't have a lot of time for a part time job because you'll have to take labs, as well as lectures, as well as a weekly tutorial concurrently. If you are trying to save money by living at home, then Stony Brook would be out. Hunter's science classes are very competitive. You don't know where you will go for the PA program so just focus on the undergrad situation for now. Meet with an advisor and make sure that you take the required courses for a PA program. As long as you have the required courses, you don't have to be a science major to get into med or PA school. Someone suggested taking only Tues-Thurs classes at SB. You can't do that with the science classes because you have to take the labs and tutorials, which generally meet on additional days.
Go to any community college in the CUNY system to get all the program prerequisites out of the way and then transfer to any 4 year CUNY college of your choice. I know a lot of people who did that.
Yes to this or you can try to go to SB for a year or so, transfer to a CUNY finish your degree and your diploma will still say SB on it, not sure how many credits you will need from SB to do this but try to find out.
I did my undergrad at Stony Brook from 2009-2013. There is no college life. 80% of the people who go there live on Long Island and go to their parents house every day or every weekend. The only people who don't are the immigrant chinese kids who only talk to each other. The place is basically a ghost town on the weekends and the VILLAGE of Stony Brook is not very accessible by walking and has basically nothing in it. Stony Brook is a great school for learning but an extremely boring place to live. If your only reason for SBU is "college life" you will be severely disappinted. On the other hand if you want to do science research it's a great choice

Not saying you're wrong at all, but in the five years you've left it might've improved somewhat since they've built a hotel (wow with a convenience store, bar, and restaurant in it!) on campus and a couple of dormitories with about half of the students living on campus.
Bonus to the cluster of immigrant Chinese kids: pretty decent cheap Chinese food near the station.
Why are you ignoring my request asking "Where are you living now?"
Oh sorry, I did not ignore you but yea I live in Queens, 40 min train to Hunter and 1hr to City College and 1hr 45 min to Stony by LIRR, 1hr by car (which I don't have)

I see, So you are saying that I shouldn't choose any science major like Bio or Chem at Hunter since it's really competitive and there's no point in stressing myself more. It's true I want to work also so I need that time for set aside for work which means living closeby. So would you recommend me to be at City? since I don't think they are much cutt-throat as Hunter is, or just stay at Hunter and take the pre-req class and major in let's say political science which really interest me and I find it easy. Also City's PA program is not accredited? According to this pic And Stony Brook won't be easy either since I would have to commute, and yea labs and tutorial could be outside beside Tues-Thurs.
I choose Hunter. Thanks for all the great advice guys!
