Penn State: $13796/yr (one of the more expensive state schools; it actually IS a little over half ERAU's tuition. Even so, adding flight training you're still around $30-40K under.)
UCLA: $7133/yr (A midrange-cost state school. A little over a fourth of ERAU's tuition.)
UF: $3330/yr (Very nice...maybe if you got your PPL in an RJ the ending total would equal ERAU's.)

LOL...At least it isn't ERAU_Jesse...Right?
When you're done with school head down to ATP and get your ratings then CFI and work in the states keeping your canadian citizenship and benefits intact. If you can get dual citizenship and enjoy both sides of the border. Something to think about...

You made a wise choice, I'm sure things will work out for you. Keep the shiny side up.

UND jesse ur plan sounds right on. I would love to have been in your position. I have been to Canada and visited flight schools there as well. I wish I could live in Canada. It's easy now to convert Canadian to FAA or FAA to Canadian. Good luck to you.
btw i'm curious as to how you got a dual?? I didn't know they had actual ''dual citizenships''. I thought you had to pick one if you were born outside of Canada.

JMT21, love may not pay the bills, but when I'm old, looking back on life, I'm not going to be cherishing all the bills I've paid in my life.
Financial stability is important. Even though I may not be making the big bucks, but I'll make ends meet. A lot of people graduate college with debt and work their way out of it.
Thanks for your wishes of good luck. I also extend you the same wishes with your gamble. Life wouldn't be exciting for me if I didn't take the gamble for something I truly want. However, I don't see my education as a gamble, it's a decision that I made after lots of research and thought. I decided I would rather go out and get my certs and ratings while at college than wander around through life, meandering towards the same goal. I'm not going to get stuck working in a cubicle wasting my days away surfing the internet, living out my dreams as a desktop pilot, sitting, waiting, wishing for the job I dream of today.
A wise choice is one that results in the best outcome for that person. Each person is different than the other, different choices work better for different people in the same situations. Assuming that one decision will work better than another in every situation is pretty bold and rather ignorant.
Hey, by the way, what year and major are you here at UND?

I think that officially Canada allows 3 and the US 2 (or the other way around) but I can't see how they'd find out or why it would matter if you decided to get a few more!
One thing I was curious about - let's say you work for Kelowna flightcraft in BC, Canada as a US/Canadian citizen and they want you to fly into Havana...

In response to flying in canada, I think there is just as much opportunity up here. There are lots of charter opporutnities up north that pay starting FO's just a bit more than Regional FO's. I also think that the university/flight training programs here are great becuase you learn to fly, and earn credits toward a business degree so you have the fall back. The airlines out here are doing very fine even though the governments had to bail out air canada at least 2 times
