someone has it as their signature, thats why i used it
in all reality it is harvard of the sky............why? because it costs a whole lot of money that doesnt gaurantee you anything.
i have 2 friends who went to the real harvard. one of them got a job with a leading investment company in DC right away making good money.....the other lived at home for 2 years after graduating, drinking beer with us and working a job that a high school graduate could have gotten.
so it is correct in saying its harvard of the sky cause your paying a boatload of money for an education, but its up to you what you want to do with it.

Just a heads up.....
Just so you all have some sense of reality... the phrase "Harvard of flight Training" is an oxymoron. A lot of folks need to realize that aviation is not an educational discipline, but merely a trade... hate to burst your bubble. Yeah I suppose we are not quite the same as being an electrician or pipefitter, but still merely a trade.
But while we are plugging our alma mater... It is more than obvious that Parks College of Engineeering, Aviation, and Technology at Saint Louis University takes the prize. Gotta love flight training in a fine Jesuit ($$$$$) tradition!

So, if aiation is not an educational discipline, then why do you have the University Aviation Association(UAA) and what are all those colleges that have aviation degrees for? You see you guys are focused on flying only. But aviation is a lot more. There is aviation management, maintenece, ATC aviation law and many other fields in aviation.

I hate Grand Forks, but the school is AWSOME, as far as flying goes. Social life is okay, it is what you make of it. Seriously, UND has new planes close to half of the planes are glass (I don’t have exact number but its growing). I visited the school twice, and hated the town, but was extremely impressed with the program. We wine and b!tch about pointless crap, but over all I like the flight department.
