Dear Sijupanta,
You can apply OPT every time you get a degree, weather it be an Associates degree or a Bachelors or a Masters degree or so on and soforth. So if you are looking to work for a year and save money go for it. Go ahead apply for internship and then file for graduation. Once you do that then you can go to your international student office and express your intention on obtaining OPT. They will provide necessary guidelines. I hope this answers your OPT question.
Good colleges in NYC? It depends on various factors. How much is your budget? How much time will you spend on school and how much will you spend on working while at school? You need to ask questions to yourself, Do i want to be small fish in the sea or be a big fish in the small pound? In other words, Do you want to go to a decent affordable school, focus totally on your studies and get a 4.0 GPA or Go to a 30K a year school taking 12 credits and getting 2.5-3.0 GPA and working 40 hours to foot the bill. One great resourse and tool to find schools in whichsoever area in the US has been www.usnews.com/education . You can click on the link below and then search for colleges in your area with the your corresponding budget. Each colleges have their ranking and if you want to be more specific about the particular department you could do that as well. From what I know The best college in Computer Science or Information Tech in the US is Cornell Mellon University, PA. In NewYork Rochester Institute of Technology is also a great school. I hope the above information helps.
