-Small and friendly / personal
-top flight training and ground instruction - NOT your standard puppy mill
-brand new fleet
-the glider and aerobatic training is a great addition to the program
-beautiful new buildings including a theater
-Ski Day!!
-new president will take the school far
Minusses:
-expensive
-I'm still paying for my degree (and my wife's)
-small - division 3 sports
-low m/f ratio
I can't complain about much other than the cost. I was accepted at both riddle and DWC, but I got the better financial aid at Webster. You can supplimen t the cost by working on campus doing various jobs. I had two and it helped pay for the room/board. Bottom line is that I got a great aviation education and it got me to where I always wanted to be.
If you want more info, let me know and I can hook you up with people there. Drop a couple key names and they will do nything for you.
Everything said here is pretty much spot on. As mentioned, DWC has an extremely experienced staff (from military to corporate world). It is not a paper mill and they will make you earn that degree. Come visit!
Pilot_135, are you flying out of Pease AFB by chance?
