I'm a 2001 grad and I can tell you Skybus must be hypoxic. When I was there, we were rated the #1 School for Overall Academic Experience in the country, I think during that time we slightly edged out Harvard or maybe Yale. Either way, those rankings are fleeting but rest assured you'll get a VERY good education and get to do things most college kids or adults never imagine. Furthermore, you'll have a guaranteed (nearly- with force shaping being what it is) job upon graduation and the pay is very competitive. Number one reason to go, is you'll meet similarly motivated, honest and hard working individuals and you'll be part of a team for the rest of your life. Good luck.
I'd tell you to keep your chin in, but that would be e-training and who wants to do that?
I'm likely to be flamed out of existence now...
