I'm going to be calling up ATP tomorrow, but was wondering if any future/current/past students could answer a few questions for me.
ATP Inc. has been recommended to me by several people, all either student or commercial pilots, and after reviewing the website information and digging as much as i can from those people, I became very exited over the program (and it's much more affordable cost!)
I have talked to a few people who all seem to think that the college experiance/equiv. can probably be waived- but none are sure. I was wondering whether any of you knew if it was possible?
I am still deciding how I plan to work out college and was advised to earn an affordable college degree while building hours post certificate, this obviously doesn't work if I must have the time before hand as a prerequisite.
Also, I am still deciding, if I were to go to ATP, whether it would be a good idea to earn my PPL back here at home, or take the Jacksonville program- I thought to my self at first it will be much cheaper here, but then noticed they do require 85 hours, and the 5995 (with housing) covers that 85, and not just the private pilot certificate. Which path do you all advise?
Also, what location has been more favorable for those that have gone? With so many options I am finding it very hard to decide where to go other than crossing out a few I would not want to go (Chicago, Trenton, DC... etc No offense to those that train there).
Can anyone help me out? Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: If you wish to talk to me about this in private message instead, that would be welcomed as well.
