Looking back, yes it was a good school. Would I do it again, no. Fly on the side while getting a real degree to back yourself up in case your flying career tanks. I've seen too many guys get furloughed or medical out and have nothing else to do. Just my 2 cents.
for sure im going to get myself a second major if i get into purdue but if i dont get in i will mostlikely do flying as part time to get my ratings and major in some other field besides aviation. im just really intersted with this schools flight program. all the other college with aviation doesnt seem as good unless if you guys have any other good recommendations?
