Baruch or Brooklyn - Actuarial Studies

Hello, I am looking to transfer to Baruch or Brooklyn College but I do have some questions on how schooling will work.

I am currently getting a AAS from a private college at the moment (My gen ed would go towards credits), and I am a NYS resident (LI).

I am looking towards the Actuarial Science Bachelors starting in Spring 27'. My first question is what campus can offer more online classes? I currently work full time (7:30 AM - 4 PM latest, M/W/F/S/S) and need to keep a clear schedule along with being able to commute to school and pay rent. If I took public transit to commute to Baruch , I'd pay around $340/month, and for Brooklyn it would be $260/month. I do own a vehicle I've just heard parking is challenging.

My second question would be which school has a better ROI on Job Market/Networking? I know Baruch has high popularity/closeness to Wall Street but does Brooklyn College offer the same? I'd stay relative to the city/LI after graduating. Is one college mainly better than the other or is it more of the same programs?

Third question is the summer programs, I talked to a transfer guide at Baruch to see how summer programs would go. Would you believe both Brooklyn and Baruch would offer the same amount of classes? My current college is a 3 semester schooling, meaning we attend almost year round and I have accelerated courses to make me graduate early.

If there are any better CUNY's/schools to look into, I am also open to that. I appreciate you taking a look into my post, please feel free to provide any intel if you can!
