Default Aviation Colleges

So I know there are a few pilots in here and need some help making a choice
So with FIT and Embry there are no females but are good schools which is my only downside
I have not visited Purdue but would like everyone opinion
I am transfering as a Sophomore and live in PA

My three school options:
1. Embry Riddle
2. Purdue
3. Florida Institute of Technology

Please PM me if you are an alum and would not like to post your opinion

Thanks
Heath

Don't know where you're located, but looks like you're willing to travel (as Embry Riddle is all over is in AZ too.) But on a less ivy-league scale, San Jose State University has a surprisingly good aviation program at their school. Before I found out I couldn't be a pilot, I was gonna go there (embry riddle is way too expensive for me).

You should check it out!

While you may not think it matters much now, do your self a favor and go to a school with nice weather, and thats by the beach

I went to a small, private school for general aviation and Flight School at Brooks AFB in San Antonio to train on fighters, so I'm no help. Good luck to you.

Good advice, but for me close beach equals no studying.
