The big question I have is why would you go to a school that does not offer the degree you are seeking? First, figure out what you want to study, and then go to a school that offers it. Do not pick a college first and then decide what you want to study.

With that said, like others have mentioned, try to find something that interests you outside of aviation. You will be doing yourself a favor in the long run. Best of luck!
