Go to ASU. Don't bother with ERAU.

That last post is the deal breaker.

I have a semester left in the management side of the flight program at ASU, but I'm saving a ton of money by doing my flying through a local FBO. I laugh when I see how much those Mesa Pilot Development kids are paying to fly through ASU. (I also laugh when freshman show up wearing their brand new aviator sunglasses to private pilot ground school and their "I'd rather be flying" license plate frames...talk about COOL!)

No to mention, your instructors are just upper classmen with a CFI ticket still dripping with wet ink.
