Alright here it is: I'm a sophomore at a state school with tons of sunshine and great social opportunities( hotties everywhere). However, i am not a resident of the state and therefore must pay out of state tuition. It's not quite as bad as I have pretty good scholarships, but i am still forced to really sacrifice to go here--dont own a car, have to be an RA to get free housing and food. Not too mention flight training in this area( PHX) is really expensive compared to where I did my private back in my home state. My question is, should i live it up for the next three years at my current college or go home for cheaper college tuition, more flying, a lot less sun and a lot more rain, and quite frankly not nearly as many hot chicks? I want to make aviation my career so is it dumb putting off a lot of the training until after college? If i do stay, should I take out a 10-20k loan for more flight training. Tell me what ya think, im currently staying because i dont want to look back when im 30 and be like, "why in the hell did i give up the most fun years of my life when i didnt have to?"

Why don't you take a year off school, get an apartment and become a resident of said state? While you're off you can work, save up some money and buy some flight time.

never thought about that but sounds like a good idea, i just dont know if i wanna give up the residency of my home state, but i guess beggers cant be choosers

Just join the military. That causes so much confusion about state residency most people just shrug and consider you in-state.

Then again, the only place I can think for you to go is Yuma, and you probably don't want that. Not to mention it's a really round about way to do it (4 years might not be worth it just to have a chance at cutting through some red tape)... Oh, and there's that whole war thing. That could be a drag.
