Default Local FBO vs UND

I've made a couple topics here trying to decided what I plan to do. Basically, I'm a freshman at the University of Minnesota. I was considering transferring to UND for flight school, but as I have read it seems to me that any good FBO can provide the same flight training for less money and allows me to more easily major in a non-aviation degree. Which also means I won't have to transfer to a small town in the middle of nowhere and abandon the friends I have made here.

I am looking at a part 141 FBO in Minneapolis, Minnesota: http://www.thunderbirdaviation.com/flight/index.asp

The question I have is will the opportunities for internships/future instructing jobs/and networking with like-minded individuals be less available than going to a large flight school such as UND?
