Actually, I am a current student...
I am not in the flight program. Like I said, practically ALL of my friends are. I am an out of state student that, because of my specific major, I get a discount on tuition-though it is still much more expensive that in state.
I am on loans, and money I have saved etc etc. I will be AFROTC next semester, though they are not offering any in college scholarships at the moment (I just talked to them a couple weeks ago and they don't have any money to give out). Being a high school student though you can still apply because it's a bit different. Two of my friends here are on scholarships they received from the AF for ROTC from high school.
Like I said before, and I hate to be so negative, but I am not impressed with the training at ASU. It's over priced and it's too much of a "let's suck you dry of money and get you through as quickly as we can" type of feel. Flying should be fun and enjoyable, and from what I see through my friends, they are all ready lacking the enthusiasm that I still have. (I am a private pilot and I rent out of Chandler, and will continue to get my ratings there next semester).
If you still want to "be apart of ASU aviation" but not fly go into Air Transportation Management. It's basically Business with aviation tied into it. That's the program I am apart of. You live with all the flight guys, take some of their classes, but are more a business major.
Hope this helps. Keep it coming with any questions, I am happy to answer them.
