the letter that they send out to you or your parents with all the updated flight fees are BS. those are complete bare minimums and if you just budget for that, then you will be sadley mistaken and wonder why your putting 10K more into your flight account.
Thats true, make sure you know the full story about WMU. I also liked western; having got my PPL at a part 61 school first, you don't have to worry about airplanes not being up, etc at Western. I think we're not as well known to prospective students as we should be, but wherever you decide to go, make sure you get the full story from current students first.
