ERAU and UND and all these aviation colleges are a rip off. While it helps get the restricted ATP, you will be in debt up to you eye balls unless you're a trust fund baby.
Then again there's the military route. Go to army WOFT you don't need a college Degree and just do the fixed wing add ons.
Definitely do some shopping around, bet there's some cheaper flight schools and colleges you can get a degree in something not aviation to serve as a backup God forbid another industry turn down.
