Hi everyone,
I am a 19 year old currently in Charlotte, NC who wants to be a pilot. I am currently in my second year of college pretty much just taking random courses at this point. Next year I am looking at transferring to a university that has an aviation program. Right now ASU is my prime choice. I have several reasons for ASU over the other schools. One of the main reasons I want to do this through university and not FBO is that I want to get this flying thing going soon, and as a child of an airline employee I have to be registered full time in school to maintain insurance eligibility, and non-rev travel (which I use a lot).
-Cost, even with out of state tuition, going to ASU would be cheaper than the private schools such as ERAU and Daniel Webster
-Location, getting between CLT and PHX is pretty easy on US. Much easier than Nashua, NH or Grand Forks, ND (nearest US station is Minneapolis). Not to mention the nice weather in the valley of the sun
After this spring semester ends, I should have about 40 credit hours coming from another university and community college. Those should take care of all my lower level general education courses, leaving room in my schedule to possibly pursue a double major, or at the least a minor.
Thanks for reading my rant, and I appreciate any other opinions or suggestions for me.
