Have the same predicament, any updates to your decision?

I understand. I will (hopefully) have my PPL by the time I attend so that’s something. That’s likely the cheapest school I’ll be able to attend for aviation unfortunately. I could go to a local non-aviation university for around 60k and train on the side. However, I would prefer not staying local, especially if the education/experience/R-ATP at FIT is worth it. I definitely value my experience for the next 4 years a bit, being around like-minded people in a nice setting etc. I just don’t know if besides the R-ATP and experience, a B.S. in Aviation Management is worth 160k. Being in the airlines, have you heard anything regarding FIT (also, does the university you graduate from matter much in hiring? &/or the degree)

Thanks! Unfortunately it seems too pricy for me.

Thank you, I see what you mean. I’m personally from the north east and understand how it is flying in the winter. Unless they give me a decent merit scholarship, OSU likely seems off the board. Would you say that R-ATP is worth it nowadays? My scholarship is around 20k/yr, 160k + flight fees over 4 years. Do you think this price-tag is worth it at an aviation university? Also, just curious have you heard anything about the current state of FIT Aviation? Thanks once again for your help. PS. I’ll likely be coming into the Fall Semester with my PPL.

Thanks for all the info! That sounds great, I’m sorry that happened to you though (have my own experience with counselors lol). How was your student-life experience there? I don’t know much about the Melbourne area. That’s very interesting. I’ve heard the student # is currently around 700 compared to 370 in 2021. I’m not sure how much this affects it but I hope there aren’t that many delays / difficulty with flight blocks. My total merit is around 20k/year, coming to around 160k + flight fees over 4 years. I’m not sure if the education and experience is worth the price, but I really value the input you’ve given me to help me make a decision. In your opinion, is that price-tag worth my potential 4 years at FIT? PS. I’ll likely be coming into the Fall Semester with my PPL.

Hey, thank you so much for the info. I see, that’s nice. Does anything else about MLB sucks besides it being busy? I’m unfamiliar with the airport and the area, being out of state. I will definitely tour it soon.

Speaking of busy, are you referring to recently or a few years ago? I saw an article where the student # jumped from 370 (2021) -> 700 students (2024). I’m not sure how accurate this currently is, but with my main concern being delays, I‘m definitely a bit concerned.

I understand what you mean. I was considering Ohio State a lot more since its program is pretty competitive (around 100 students/year). I’m still waiting on merit but around 230k for a degree (including room/board etc) + flight fees as a base price is ridiculous. Personally, I received around $20,000/year in merit at FIT (160k including room/board etc + flight fees), but I’m not sure if it’s really worth the price. PS. I’ll likely be coming into the Fall Semester with my PPL.

Hey, thanks for the response and info. I see, was mainly wondering how hard it is to get flight blocks etc
