Hello all, t'is I =)
I haven't been on the forums for bout a month, why? that does not matter, what matters is that I am here now lol! ok... im going to calm down... i have so much in my mind that i just want to blurt out at once, but i know the only way that i'm going to properly get this across is if i express it naturally.
So here's the break down. As many of you may now by now, Aviation is my passion, and I'd like to pursue my dream and turn it into a reality.
I have been researching 100's upon 100's of universities and institutions that offer both an Associates and Bachelor of Science degree programs in Aviation,Aerodynamics, Aeronautics, Avionics, etc...
And it has come down to the wire for me... I'm currently located in Forsyth Missouri, originally from Montreal Canada, for those of y'all who don't already know. The closest institution to me is Spartan college, and I have eliminated that from my equation due to the fact that I have received not so raving reviews of the college. Secondly its too pricey for what you get out of it education wise.
Second on the list was Tulsa tech, which is btw an institution that I would have followed through with if I was just going to settle with an Associates.
But now that I'd like to pursue a B.S. I have K-State's AVMBS(Aviation Maintenance Bachelor's of Science) at the Salina campus in my crosshairs.
I found out that I would have to live in Kansas for 1-year in order to receive in-state tuition, and for those of you who are in the same financial slump as I, know very well what they are getting themselves into when even with the transcripts from our previous college eliminating the elective courses, we/I still have to pay a whopping $70,000 +
So this brings me to my conclusion that I would defn like to go to K-State, I get a positive feeling from the university even thought I haven't visited the campus yet, but when I do, I'm almost certain my opinions will not alter.
Another plus to K-state is that the school has a rowing team. 2-years of Competitive rowing at my previous college in canada, left me with a good taste in my mouth, and I'd like some more...and what better place to go that has both my program and sport...
Just recently I came across another institution "Embry-Riddle," which has campuses world wide, and one really close by to me..in "little rock" Arkansas and it's stationed on a military base. Did I ever mention that I absolutely love military aviation!! Which this brings a little conflict into my original equation, that this new school is much closer to home, I'm not to sure on the prices of tuition and on campus costs, I was wondering if any of you have any information of embry riddle, anything at all, I'd like to discuss that very much. about the school, it's reputation, the success of alumni, and where they are now. the differences in the B.S. degrees in Aviation at the school, and where they will get me in terms of salary and companies I'd work at. I'd prefer to work on military aircraft like my buddy mike. Mike landed a job with McDonnell Douglas back in the early 80's working on the Hornets, hence my alias "EASuperhornet," So landing a job like this myself and with a Bachelor's of Science degree is a plus. Education is really important to me, I never want to stop!! =P lol!
ok guys, i think i'll leave my thread as is, and see where this goes.
Sincerely,
Tony
