I flight instructed in Denver and prior to that I learned to fly at an FBO. I have a 4 year degree, not in aviation. It’s not even aviation related. I made it to a legacy and I definitely spent less money than if I had attended ERAU.
My advice... if you’re not happy with ERAU, go to MSU, start flying ASAP I Need Denver. You’ll be flying professionally before you know it and save a lot of money.
