He was a great person to speak with about the program. I ate lunch on campus and then drove over to the flightline to take a sample flight with a nice kid (i forgot his name). We did some steep bank turns and a stall/ stall recovery and then flew over campus. I was very impressed with Florida Tech's presentation and right now I cannot decide to whether to go to ERAU or FT.

As for Dowling, I got a 1/2 tuition scholarship, but I hate New Jersey winters so why the heck would I want to spend 4 yrs in NY where the winters suck even more. I also like the school, but it's incredibly small the college of aviation only have about 130 students enrolled for Fresh through Senior years.

So now it's between FT and ERAU, as of now FT is cheaper by $1,000. I know ERAU is supposed to be the "Harvard of Flight Schools" but do airlines really care?
