If anyone has attended these colleges for aviation, can you tell me about them? (For ERAU, I'd prefer to hear about the Arizona campus). And remember, I don't care about costs/fees right now.
Any and all information will/would be appreciated. Thanks!
i got to FDX at 25...i got all my ratings outside of ERAU but got a business degree there....if money is not an issue get all of your ratings and certificates outside of the school and get the aviation education at the university....i attended all the alumni functions and career days and made many contacts in the industry...i flight instructed and flew charter my last 3 years at school in daytona and home in the summers...when i graduated i had 1500hrs and 500 multi and got a lear job...my classmates all had 200 hrs...my contacts helped me along the way...ERAU would be my choice based on my experience(cost aside) on alumni, job fairs, and career days alone....good luck!
