You could look into Syracuse University, also iffy on aid, I guess they're more big in esports management/gaming but maybe you could computer art and animation major with a minor in CS

Definitely apply to like Baruch and Lehman as those should be free for you as an NYC resident

But I'll think about some other schools in diff areas too
