Sorry just need to confirm you said $20K per semester. Is "under $20,000/semester" a good deal? Does that include flight training?

If you're looking for advice, here's my buck-oh-five: If you really want to study aviation and get an education that will prepare you for only an aviation career, then go to an aviation college. Otherwise, study another field that's of interest to you at some other respectable institution, do your flight training at an FBO or flight school, and save a lot of money.

[From talking to other pilots, I have heard that:] Pilot labor is pretty much a homogenous service to airlines. Flying experience counts in the hiring process. The fact that you have a college education counts in the hiring process. Where you obtained these things matters a whole lot less.
