I go to DCA in SFL but i hear the DCA down here is diff from the one up there since the one here is tied with a college and a tad bit cheaper. I hear the one up there is money hungry etc but the one down here is honest and straight up with you. Here they are always willing to work with you and the teachers and instructors seem to care and always try to help you out so you don't overspend. No matter where you go just don't get an aviation degree and shop around.

I wouldn't do either. I'd go to school, certainly, however I wouldn't go to either DCA or Riddle. At least, I wouldn't go to Riddle for an aviation degree. Engineering would be an option.
For flight training I'd go to a quality local FBO. You may be surprised at just how good a lot of them are.

1) Tighten up the spelling
2) Use the search function (use key words like ERAU, DCA, etc)
Two questions....
1) Were you drunk when you posted this?
2) Is your post a joke?

Whatever you do, double major or study something other than aviation science along with your licenses. Heck, go out and get an EMT cert. IE do something to save your bacon when the day comes you need to do something else.
I did all of the above and it's become exceptionally useful as I've grown older and my goals changed.

Hello there...I see that you said you currently attend DCA. I assume the SFL is in reference to Sanford, FL? Anyhow...I'm currently scheduled to begin there at DCA in Sanford this coming November and I just wanted to know what you think so far about your overall experience. I'm 25 years old and I have a four year degree in Business but for the past year and half I've been working in retail as a manager, and I know without a doubt that this is not a job a want to make a career out of. But I also don't want to jump into something that isn't any better. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for me?
