Everywhere else you go will seem like a vacation once you have been to UND for four years! Flying arcs, Back courses, and operating out of small airports IFR etc. may suck now, but its amazing the amount of "qualified" pilots that don't know how to do it correctly.

13. Is there any advice you would pass along to current UND students?
There is some website out there that some disgruntled student made about UND. It has all these false facts and figures about UND including its aviation and saying how bad it is there. Well its all hogwash! I had a blast there and will always miss my time there. The training is top notch, as well as your classes. I enjoyed being involved in other parts of campus as well. It really kept my sanity as I didn't talk about airplanes 24/7. I'm finding that needs to be true when you graduate to a flying job. HAVE SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES FLYING YOU LIKE TO DO! Thats the best advice I ever ever got!

12. If you could start college over would you still choose UND?
Hard question, I loved UND for the college experience, not for the over priced, over stressed flight training.
13. Is there any advice you would pass along to current UND students?
Think hard of where you want to go afterword. Is money a big issue? Theres many just as good, cheaper ways of flight training. At und basically your paying the big bucks for the UND name.
