Many of us, including myself attended real Universities and attained real degrees while also completing flight training on the side.
It was a tremendous accomplishment and I am a much more well rounded person because of it. Getting the "Aviation degree + flight ratings" bundle was an option I refused to even consider.
I wanted much more for myself.

It is much more difficult to go to school full time and get your ratings on the side. How many credit hours does obtaining your ratings knock off your degree anyways? AGAIN it doesn't matter where you went to school, it all depends on you and how well you do in training.
