I received my PPL training through a local flight school but did it as 141, than transferred into the College Aviation Science program. Right now things are not what they were said they were to be. The program here seems to be very unorganized and lacking communication. As of right now the Inst and Comm courses are not flying. It is now a month and a half into the semester and I have yet to receive 1 out of the 6 emails I have sent trying to obtain an answer as to why. They have already lost the large sum of money I had sitting in my flying account for a month and justt found it 2 days ago. Just having a very bad feeling about this school.
After this rough start I am curious if I should stay in this program or return to my great flight school at Hanscom AFB. The aviation college is fully accredited, which I know has some great benefits connected to that. From what I gathered since being in this program, this is the typical. Unfortunately, I was not able to gather all of that prior to starting here.
I would just like to hear what your guys opinions are, whether or not it would be a good idea to stay or to stick it out.
Sorry if there are grammer errors, typing this out on my phone.
Thanks!

Get Out! Get Out! Hopefully you can walk away with some money. Unfortunately you'll come across a lot of schools like that. Best thing to do, if you want to fly, go to a regular university and get a 4 year degree and go to your local flying club and finish through them, it will be a lot cheaper than going to a big name aviation school, that's going to cost you $100 grand when you get out.

I am sorry to say I have been in this almost exact situation with the 4 year aviation program I attended. I went there my sophomore year with my private license almost completed. Long story short, I ended up having to finish my private back home, and in three years did not get a single license or rating from the university.
You need to get your money and get out.
