You would be correct. If for some reason you do not have the opportunity to instruct or simply don't want to, ISU grads should expect to have in the vicinity of 300 hours TT.

Try around $40k-$50k if budgeted correctly. Cost of living in TH is dirt cheap. After doing the dorm thing the first year (ISU requirement), get a few roomates and an apartment or house.
As for THAC. No glass really. Used to have a cirrus on leaseback but we no longer have it. Almost all of our aircraft have capable avionics though. KLN89B's, Garmin 430's, GTX 330's, Storm scopes, KAP 140's, S-tec autopilot in one Arrow, etc... Even most of the 152's have dual comm/nav stacks with GS.
Personally, I'm not quite sold on the glass other than the "wow-neato" factor. I think being able to accurately pin-point your location on an approach plate or L-chart by using cross radials, an ADF needle, timing, and some dead wreckoning while partial panel is an extremely valuable tool.
