Why do you want to even consider an "aviation" school? A degree in "aviation" will not help you get an airline job, and it certainly will do you no good whatsoever when/if you ever get furloughed.

Get a degree, but get it in somethign that you can use outside of aviation so that you have somethign to fall back on when you do not have a flying job, or are furloughed. Not one single major airline ever has required an aviation degree, and currently most of them no longer even require a degree in anything. A few still require it, so it will never hurt you to have one.... but getting an aviation degree is a waste of money and resources. Fly at your local airport, and since you are in MA, spend the money you will be saving by NOT being in a college aviation program to go to a better school like BC, or Northeastern and get a real degree from a good school.
