Graduating COLLEGEEEEEE!!!! Fly Time :]

Yeah all the required extra items definitely make it add up, but if you can get it on the cheap like a flash light then go for it. Also don't buy all the apps until you actually need them. Foreflight will be a big one though and I personally recommend the more expensive version. I don't think you'll be flying the Archer much now until I think commercial single, but if I were you and could choose I would probably choose the Charlotte location based on that. Of course if you're living in Raleigh and can live at home then of course that would be better. Good call on walking in for a tour, hearing you can't tour a location is a load of crap. Either way both facilities will have the same stuff and my instructor is really pushing for me to learn instrument on the old steam gauge Seminole so if RDU is close then I would choose that. Already expensive enough as it is.
Interesting comment about learning IFR on steam gauges, that too crossed my mind but then again what about all the glass cockpit stuff that one needs to know especially as all the Airlines load the cockpits with the sweet avionics suites that are mostly glass today.. I did all my PPL in steam gauges so I was thinking glass time exposure may do me well?... Still in the air though, yes I live closer to RDU area though.

much an apartment to myself. All the other locations have student housing with 2 people to a room and at least 4 to an apartment. If that would have been the case for me I would have preferred to live at home. You don't have a lot of time for a decision but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either.

I have decided to go with ATP Concord/Charlotte facility for the 100 Day Program! Will be flying the steam gauges on the Seminoles and the Archer in the glass some so good outcome I think.
