Need some advice here. So I got into both Hunter and City and waiting for Stony. I am geared toward going for physician assistant so have to take a lot of science pre-reqs for the PA school. I wanted to go to Stony primarily because of "college life", "better administration" more "connections/opportunity to get better jobs/internships". But I can't afford the dorming cost. I can commute but it's a 4hr commute round trip through LIRR. Now I need to make a decision, as what will be the best here. What can you guys recommend? Hunter city? or Stony? Also I want to have options in english/history/IT major as If I don't really want to becme a PA. So that in mind also.
I could but there's so little apartments near as in there and you have to commute by bus/drive either way
Yeah bad idea. Suffolk County is more expensive than NYC to rent at, even CI and Brentwood are kinda expensive. It's a buyer's, not a renter's place. Go to City.
I don't know this major well but it seems that PA is a graduate program at both Stony and City. But at City, you can save money and stack classes together to get your Biology degree in a short time and head right into a PA program. The SUNYs don't take as many AP credits as the CUNYS from what I know so you'll finish faster at City.
If you do decide to go to SB and can't afford the dorming, I would recommend you selecting all your classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That way, your LIRR commuting expenses will only be 2X a week. Also, maybe once you are taking classes and meet friends who do dorm at SB, you can crash at their place as well. And be sure to get a part time job to help pay for some of your school expenses (commute, books, supplies, etc). The worst thing is to graduate college with a bunch of debt. At least with a part time job, you can start saving money on the side to prepare to pay off some of that debt.
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.

Good idea and also maxx out CLEP's, AP's and CollegeNow classes.
