I'm currently a sophmore at kent State in ohio, and I'm just kind of burnt out/not happy with school right now and am throwing around the idea of transfering somewhere next semester. My question is are there any colleges out there that dont have outrageous out-of state tuition? I wouldnt mind going somewhere warm but who knows just kicking around some ideas.....
thanks,
Ben

 

Apollo College

 

Ohio University... Go Bobcats!!

 

UVI (virgin islands)?

 

What's the problem at your current location?

 

OU is an awsome school, and is a possibility, but for some strange reason the last time I was there I dont remember it

 

Kansas isn't too bad, but it does get fairly cool in the winter (this past winter was particularly bad). Kansas State has a 141 school in Salina and if you're interested you can PM me for further info. Kansas State main campus is Manhattan is a lot of fun, and relatively cheap tuition-wise, I think...if you would rather go the "useful degree and FBO training" route.

 

Yeah I'm planning on getting all my ratings through my current fbo, or else there are some community college programs I am looking into. Also getting my degree in something non-aviation related, most likely business admin. or economics.

Bertram, no real problems or anything just kind of burnt out on things right now, for all I know I might stay here, just excersizing my options.

 

Virginia Tech. Going to be there next fall. Awesome school, awesome girls, awesome football. And the airport is right next to campus.

 

Arizona State University(Tempe campus). Beautiful Weather, Big campus, lots of people(52,000 students on the tempe campus), amazingly hot girls(can be a negative when you go back to wherever you are from and realize that they dont come close to ASU girls), Excellent parties/nightlife. Academically it's not Harvard, but who the hell cares if your goal is to be a pilot? From what every airline pilot tells me, getting a bachelors degree is just a check in the box on the application. With that said, our business and engineering schools are pretty well regarded. Out-of-state tuition is relatively low at roughly $16,000 a year, and if you get a scholarship like I did, you can get that down to in-state price or lower. Plus, we have Division 1 sports and while not considered a "powerhouse," we hold our own--this year in football we were co-champs in the Pac-10. We have an aviation program as well but i wouldnt recommend it because it's on a smaller branch campus, it's a ripoff, and most of all it is connected with Mesa airlines which blows bigtime. There are other great schools out there as well and ASU isnt for everyone, but you might like it. All I know is, today it was 85 degrees outside and it is the norm for students to go chill out at the pool in between classes--How many other places does that happen in March?
