Transfer student from ERAU
 
Hey everyone I am new to the forums but I am a devout pilot. I was a double major at ERAU on the 5 year plan there. I was there for four years, and I recently just got a statement on my student loans. Wow, thank God I can defer them for another year and a half because I am back in school. Which brings me to my point. I come from an aviation family and I was warned strongly in fact to not go to ERAU because it just puts you in a hole of debt that is very difficult to climb out of. My four years were great there, in fact best time of my life so far and all my best friends are instructing down there. I learned sooo much about aviation(if I wasn't out surfing all the time) and I had a great job working in their tutoring lab. I transferred because it was getting too expensive. I came to Marywood University in Scranton, PA. Let me tell you all, what an awesome decision that was. You see Marywood used to be an all girls school and yeah the ratio of girls to guys is incredible. If your grades are good, the financial aid here is amazing you can practically go for free. We are an up and coming 141 school with a g1000 172 and whole bunch of piper chers and warriors. The night life is awesome, you don't fly in the winters so learn to snowboard, and the summer times are amazing. I am not bashing ERAU just saying it was really expensive and I do not have any regrets going there(I will once I start making those payments). So if you are in the north east area I highly suggest checking out Marywood University. In fact I highly suggest you check out all your options before committing to a school merely for the name that it is associated with. I just proofread this and sorry if I come across as being a [..] advertisement I just want people to know there are other options. Thanks for listening.

There are alot of options out there. It seems like alot more then when I went to school (Class of 1996). If cost is an issue then ERAU may not be the place for you. Good Luck!!

ERAU Class of 1990 here. It appears from your post that you made a good move so best of luck to you.
