Its a 141 school FWIW.
Seconded. Huge Big Ten school with 40,000 students. Great education for the dollar in any area. Some are extremely competitive like Engineering and Business. You'll still get the small time feeling from the Institute of Aviation. I believe the school is less than 200 students and you'll never get that feeling. The equipment, while not glass except for one Arrow, is excellent quality!
I would not change where I received my flight training if I had to do it again.
