Also many questions about whether you live in NY, own a home in NY, have a drivers license in NY, went to high school in NY, filed your taxes in NY, have a bank account in NY, etc. They really want NY citizens I believe.

All the SUNYs do favor NY residents.

I pretty much wrote down step by step how I would confront and respond to the person. I would assume you would treat it like a casper prompt lol
