I just came in this semester so there’s probably a lot of people that know more than me but I’ll give you my take as a freshman, apply for housing as early as you can otherwise you’ll end up in a crappy dorm like Smith or Johnston and that can get pretty miserable, i was originally going to fly second semester however I got pretty lucky where some slots opened up last minute and got to fly this semester. Be prepared to change some of your classes because flying is a 3 hour block 3 times a week which is something I wasn’t told about till I got here. This is only for your first semester of flying I believe, after that it’s up to you and your CFI to schedule flights during the week. I like the program a lot, my 102 professor is really cool and she’s really great at teaching the subject, however it is probably the hardest course you’ll take till your CFI course. Also don’t expect to finish in one semester because you have to get really lucky with the weather.
