where to go to college
#11
Auburn University
-College Town
-Tons of beautiful girls
-Great football team
-Great flight program
-Tons of beautiful southern bells
-Flight program is apart of the business school which is one of the best in the nation so you could get a minor in something like finance, accounting, etc.
-Can't beat SEC football
-More beautiful girls than you know what to do with
Good luck. I was in your shoes about 7 years ago and all I wanted to do was get an aviation degree. Went to Auburn and enrolled in their flight program. When I decided I wanted to fly for the Air Force I switched to an engineering degree and stopped getting all of my ratings and just flew for fun on the side. Engineering was tough, but I can't tell you how nice it is to have it as a backup option. More than likely I will never use it because I want to fly for a living for the rest of my life, but it's nice to know I have that backup plan.

I looked at the website from Auburn but it didn't say if you get an associats degree or bachlor.
Thanks at everyone. I was starting to think there weren't any in California. Not that I'm saying I'm defenetly going to go to one of them.
So far I got Florida Tech, Embry Riddle, Dowling College, Auburn University, Farmingdale State College, Middel Tennessee State University, Western Michigan University, University of North Dakota, Kent State University, Southestern Oklahoma State University, University of Cincinnati, San Jose State University, Utah Valley State College and Mt. San Antonio College.

Fix-Based Operator. They're service centers that reside at almost every Class D-B Airport and offer Fuel, Repair, Avionics, etc. Most of them have a flight school, too.
I'm not much of a critic, but I really don't see why the OP doesn't just go to the best University he can get into with his HS Grades and do his training at the local airport? Why are you so compelled to go to a flight school?
A lot of people are telling you to go to schools out West, and down South. Last time I checked, the best colleges (and the most educated population) were in the Northeast. Just my $.02.

A buddy went to Auburn (couldn't get into Alabama...I kid, I kid) and loved it. Has nothing but great things to say about the program although he was a management major not straight aviation.
Goodluck.

I would advise you to finish the at the CC and attain your PPL at the local airport as you stated. After that, I would advise you to major in something like Economics, Financial Planning, Health Care or Hospital Management at a state university and continue to pursue your aviation career at a local airport.
