I'm wrapping up my degree and on hindsight I wish I would have done a degree in something else. Granted, it's been pretty easy for my degree in Aviation Science, I think I would benefit by something else. But, choices have been made and I'll do the best with them.
I think whoever said State U, just meant a general State university.... correct me if I'm wrong.
Either way, find something in ADDITION to aviation that you can study. You'll have plenty of time to bury your head in the FAR/AIM.
