I would second the state school idea. I am in my senior year at University of Illinois. While I pay instate tuition, flight fees alone are heavy enough - I'd hate to see out of state or even what a private school would be like. Remember, when you graduate from where ever, you will be luck to make $20k. Think of your loan payments plus cost of living and that's going to be a very tough end to meet.
As for the degree here, you can either get it in aviation (as I did... not sure if that was a good idea but Im sticking with it) or anything else the school offers.
