This is what I did. I earned my BA in Business from UW Seattle, earned my private at Harvey Field in Snohomish and my other ratings at a small flight school in Dallas. This was a fun and adventurous route for me, and I wouldn't do it any other way.

Unless you're hellbent on holding an aviation degree, consider other options that might cost you less. I've heard terrific things about UND too. Just make your decision carefully and knowledgeably. From what I've heard, you'll want to avoid Riddle altogether. I've met too many people with the same exact job as myself who have three times the Sallie Mae payment.
