I just applied for Embry Riddle University to take the non military route. You guys are right. 10+ years is a bit too much... for me at least.

I don't think attending ERU is the best way to go. Please run the math comparing your debt at graduation with your potential income as a CFI/Regional pilot for the 10 years following graduation.
Ask your parents to show you their monthly budget to get an idea on living expenses and what taxes do to your income.
Perhaps a good state school, many have aviation programs if you insist on a degree in that area.
