So im heading to my senior year And i have to start applying for colleges. I am 17 yrs old and very interested in becoming an airline pilot, since I was a little kid (0 flight hours except for summer camp at Erau where I flew a c172 twice and a sim). And now I have two choices and I'm looking to see which one is better. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

CHOICE 1-
Delta state univ
PROS-They have a decent price for every flight rating $42k A total of $102k with the aviation degree.
- Lowered ATP hours
CONS- I get an aviation degree which is useless as many say because u never know. Ex medical exam fail, no job available etc..
- out of state
-Bright futures doesn't cover tuition


2- FIU (Florida international Univ)

PROS- In state
-6k tuition excluding housing.
-I can get most tuition covered with scholarships and aid, which means I will have little or no debt hopefully

- I can get a degree outside of aviation

-there is a flight school nearby 30min away and they offer every rating for around 43k. And you can choose the weekend course which is perfect.

- another flight school nearby just in case 20min way.

- Its in Miami, Probably going to be a fun experience, And 3hrs away from home.

CONS- Getting a job to fit my school schedule Mon-Friday, so I can pay Flight school and my other expenses. -any tips on how to do that?

-And checking out how that AOPA flight finance works out.

So yea I'm left with these two choices does anyone have an opinion on which is better? Any tips? thank you very much .
