I went the ERAU route...great route learned a lot....but I think you'd be much better off going to Cornell (i'm from ithaca) and getting a degree in something completely different and doing your flight training as cheap as possible in a tiny FBO somehwere...I also had the chance to go to cornell but was ooed and awwwed by ERAU's propaganda and turned down cornell. I think there might be a small flight school right at the Ithaca airport...Do your best to avoid huge loans, i know cornell isn't cheap, and neither is flight training. Best of luck!
