Does the first disbursement come as a refund or book advance? If so when does the refund come

I’m going to City Tech for Computer Engineering. Originally, I wanted to do Computer Science, but I got into City Tech and figured, why not? There seems to be a lot to do there, and I’ve been seeing a lot about the school.
I’m just wondering if City Tech is actually a good choice for this major. To be honest, I’d like to do my full 4 years but they offer 2 years too and I was planning on cs but I’m not sure if I should try it and see if I like it and then like I’m just stuck a bit but idk if after my first year I should go and try really hard to then maybe go to City College, but I’m not sure if transferring after the first year is a good idea. I’ve heard the CUNY transfer system can be a little weird.
Would appreciate any advice from people who have experience with City Tech or transferring within CUNY.

Does anyone know what we're supposed to write to our professors for the CUNY Accommodate email every semester? Incoming freshman and a little confused.

What time does the disbursement of your financial aid happens? Like when will I see it on my Account Activity if today is disbursement day?

So my TAP was reduced because they said I made more money in 2024 around $26–27K in New York State taxable income—than the previous year
2023 . But I have five people dependent on me, and that is listed on my 2024 tax return.
In files it includes my 3 kids not me or my wife. So they said it doesn’t matter how many people in the file it matters how much you make…. So what is my next move ?

Currently going into my freshman year at a small liberal arts college in Massachusetts, I’ve always wanted to live and work in New York City, so I’m looking into transferring to Baruch, Hunter, or BC. Is it worth applying after the first semester as a finance/econ major with 15 credits if I get a 4.0 GPA? My high school GPA was a 3.2.
