I am considering attending SIU in the fall of this year. I was wondering if anyone here is currently enrolled there, or has any info they could share.
Here are the reasons I am considering:
1. I only live about 80 miles away. A commute is not out of the question, so I might not have to relocate my family at this time.
2. I get a 4 year degree plus flight training. If I already held a degree of some sort, I would probably just pursue a flight school. However since I do not, this looks like a good way to "kill 2 birds with 1 stone". I'm 28 now, and would like to move on with this as efficiently as possible.
3. Time. Considering that I should be able to test out of a few of the first year classes, and they say I will receive some credit for having my PPL, it is quite possible with summer classes, that I might be finished in around 3 years. Elsewhere, I would probably be 4 years, plus 1 year in a flight school.
I appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Thanks,
Mike
