I'd be happy to give you a few budget-friendly university recommendations in New York City! Keep in mind that tuition costs may vary depending on a student's financial aid package, so the schools listed below are generally considered more affordable compared to some other options in the city. Here are a few universities you might want to consider:

1. City University of New York (CUNY) System: CUNY has numerous campuses throughout the city, offering a wide range of undergraduate programs. Some notable campuses include CUNY Hunter College, CUNY Baruch College, and CUNY City College. These schools have relatively lower tuition costs, especially for in-state students.

2. State University of New York (SUNY) System: There are also a few SUNY campuses in and around NYC, such as SUNY Empire State College and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Although not located directly in NYC, nearby campuses like SUNY Purchase and SUNY Old Westbury might also be worth looking into.

3. New York City College of Technology: This college, also part of the CUNY system, focuses on applied sciences, engineering, and technology programs. Tuition costs are reasonable compared to other institutions, and the campus is located in Brooklyn.

4. St. Francis College: A small, private college located in Brooklyn Heights, St. Francis College offers a variety of undergraduate programs. Although it is a private institution, the tuition is notably lower than many other private colleges in the city.

Be sure to check each school's website for specific tuition and fees, as well as for financial aid and scholarship opportunities. Many students find that applying for a multitude of scholarships can help alleviate tuition costs. Good luck with your college search!
