I'm a UND grad which has costs similar ERAU. The debt is crushing. I payed for most of mine myself (vs parental $). Once you get done and enter the work force, be prepared to not be able to do (insert pasttime/lifestyle-activity here) because you won't be able to afford any of the things you do now. Your new hobby will be figuring out how to Budget.

With the new 121 experience requirements there may well be provisions for a lower hour pilot (less than ATP minimums) to fly 121 if they are a grad of the big name schools. Which would benefit you if do stick to... The Profession.
