I mainly came to this forum seeking advice on if it is worth transferring to a university with an aeronautical program. I have been researching UND and have read that pilots who attend an aeronautical university are allowed to fly commercially with 1,000 hours of experience, where as regular pilots have to attain 1,500 hours. Is this true? I read something similar to this in one of the most recent "flight" magazines but can't find the article online.

I also like the idea of being surrounded by people who share the same interest and have similar goals as me. Currently, I am attending a university in Northern California and haven't met anyone else who is interested in becoming a pilot. The majority of students are still struggling to deremine what their major is going to be.
