whoah - now there's a blanket statement:eek:

sorry to hear that!....

They both suck. Go to Parks.

Parks????? is that even a school????

Parks is in St Louis.
Their students aren't communists. ;)

i was kidding..i know about parks..i knew a few guys who failed out of ERAU and then went to parks!!!

If you end up at ERAU, be sure to check out the fine ladies at Stetson University. It's a highly under-utilized crop of women in ERAU's backyard.
Just a quick 20 minute drive down the road, and packed with gorgeous, wealthy, private university girls who crowd the bars in Deland every weekend. You'll meet many fine women there when the "airport hot" girls at ERAU get old.

I did Riddle and I regret it. Go to a state university. I think an aviation degree does not do much for your career. The only thing worthwhile at aviation orientate schools is the internships and job programs.

Let's cut to the chase
 

Here's the important facts

Personally I think your a lot better off going to a school with a great reputation outside aviation as well. esp. if you decide not to fly.

They're much smarter than you think :)

The people telling you to go to a state university and do your ratings on the side are the smart ones. Your certificate doesn't say where you went and there's no requirement in this industry that you have to have an "Aviation" degree. Do yourself a favor and get a degree in something universal like communication or management in case this industry tanks, or something prevents you from flying like a loss of medical.

I spent an extra year at St. Louis U (Parks is the aviation/engineering school) and got a second degree from the business school. I may never use it but having that fall-back makes me a lot more confident about the future.
