If you aren't doing ROTC or AE, I think ERAU is a rip off. My friend spent about $70,000 and a year and a half before he got his private pilot's license here (he is an "aeronautical science" major, a fancy name for getting pilot ratings at exorbitant prices). I got my private in a year exactly from the day of my flight physical, for $2500 out of pocket (Civil Air Patrol covered the other half, yes, I'm one of those toolbags who was in CAP). Plus, like you, I'm getting a real degree that is useful.

ASU is a solid school. With in state tuition, why would you go anywhere else? It's great. Plus, ASU has some of the hottest girls I have ever seen.
