Satpak- Not very many, when I started at the arizona campus it was 18% female, but I think it was up to 20 when I left. I don't know about daytona beach campus.

As for the original point....... there is always a cheaper diploma out there, so it's buyer beware. I chose riddle for a multitude of reasons, as I'm sure many others have, I knew it wasn't the cheapest and it doesn't bother me in the least that somebody is getting a cheaper degree somewhere else. If it does bother you that much you can always transfer. Besides, this isn't an uncommon practice. There are many students who go to a junior college or community college and with a couple of extra online classes get a degree from a much larger university at a fraction of the cost.

I graduated back in 1999 and finally paid off my debts. Had I known I could have saved a lot of cash, I would have done it much differently. To see American kids paying the high costs of tuition at ERAU, all the while foriegn students pay a mere fraction, is something that should upset most people.

I think I would be at least slightly upset about this one if I were an ERAU student. I can't even get an online degree from a state school in my state for $10k.
