Just a couple of final points-
- To be clear, my family and I do not have unlimited money - far from it. The majority of the grants I'm getting are from merit, because I've worked my behind off throughout school, and I now have an extremely high GPA/SAT. It's from hard work, not mommy and daddy's pockets.
- I really have done research on ERAU. Unfortunately, around here, there are extremely biased and disgruntled folks complaining about ERAU just for the fun of it. I actually have been PMing with an ERAU graduate who went to a regional straight after graduation, and he gave me loads of advice/opinions as well, that aren't biased, but truthful. The fact is that for flying, ERAU really is a very good institution to attend. Also, I've done campus tours and that kind of thing, and the campus is beautiful as well. I think a final benefit of ERAU is that it's all-aviation, all the time. While this is miserable for some, I love it and I enjoy being around like-minded people.
Ok, preach over
