Even though state tuition is about half ERAU's, flight training will just about make up the difference??? You're basically saying ERAU flight training is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than alternatives. That's.........interesting.

Penn State: $13796/yr (one of the more expensive state schools; it actually IS a little over half ERAU's tuition. Even so, adding flight training you're still around $30-40K under.)
UCLA: $7133/yr (A midrange-cost state school. A little over a fourth of ERAU's tuition.)
UF: $3330/yr (Very nice...maybe if you got your PPL in an RJ the ending total would equal ERAU's.)
