For any newbie....who wants to go to Riddle......go community college first 2 years to knock out all general classes and get up to @ least your commercial rating outside, then get your CFI in ERAU and with luck they might still have the 10K grant for part timers when u get here.

Like this u'll save 2 years of costs and still get the same education/opportunities/diploma from ERAU.
