Fwiw
I second the state school. Repayment of student loans (if you are not independently wealthy) would be much less expensive.
Also, ANY degree would work, but try something outside of Aviation Management....say Accounting or Engineering or Basket Weaving
If you think you might go out of state try:
SIU or NMC or or WMU or (some school outside of Chicago, near Joliet) or MTSU or you get the hint!! There are many great schools in the mid-west that might be cheaper than Kent.
Good Luck!!
