Go to community college, do your training at an FBO, instruct finish up the degree...guarenteed you save over 30G's.
Most UND'ers I've met are so full of themseleves.
"We have an agreement with Piedmont!"
Not sure how you can say that... I got out of UND for 50 large including tuition AND flight costs. If you can show me somewhere you can get a 4 year degree from a school with some clout (not Hollywood Upstairs Medical School) AND all your ratings up through MEI, I'd like to see it.
And for the record, I saw just as many pimple-faced private pilots p!ssing through daddy's money down at a local FBO as I did at UND. Now, there are some UNDers (and Riddle kids and Purdue pukes etc) who do have a chip on their shoulder but you will find that anywhere. I've come across just as many folks from local FBOs who thought they were God's gift to aviation because they DIDN'T go to Riddle or Purdue or UND.
