Have you read anything on this forum regarding aviation schools at all? There's no shortage of threads on the subject. Read the "Key Alternative Loan & Bankruptcy" thread on the Money Talk board, and "Embry Riddle: to go or not to Go" on Flight Training board.
The consensus of those with actual experience and hindsight is that an aviation school, and ESPECIALLY an aviation degree, is a bad idea. Graduating ERAU with a degree completely useless in the real world, while starting your pilot career not making enough money to pay your $1000 a month student loan payments, is the worst possible way to get started.
Continue to get your ratings at a local FBO, and attend a respectable state school for an in-demand business or engineering degree.
