If I didn\u2019t get financial aid I\u2019d probably be in a CUNY school instead of at SUNY Cortland, so that I was closer to home and it\u2019d be less expensive. I wanted to go to SUNY because I wanted to get out of the city for awhile. There are so many problems that SUNY and CUNY students have to face right now, but just one of them is transportation to and from school and home. That\u2019s expensive, and I feel like that should be provided. We need a fully funded SUNY and CUNY so that everybody has the opportunity to get a degree no matter what financial circumstances they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a sophomore at SUNY Cortland.
