Go to UND (North Dakota). The best 4 years of my life were spent in Grand Forks. It is a public university, so tuition is cheap! Their in-state tuition is one of the lowest in the country. When you end up spending $50,000 for flying, that cheaper tuition really helps.

 

Winters suck, but you get used to them. 

 

Speaking of flying... There is so much empty airspace in the area for flying. UND is constantly getting new aircraft and the airport is easy to fly out of. 

 

Take plenty of time to research, though. Shoot me a message if you have any questions!

True and true. 

 

UND isn't a bad place to do your flying. I am majoring in Atmospheric Science here and was recently hired as a flight instructor for the university. It is a great place to make connections and meet people. If you're interested in having a serious career in aviation in the United States, this is probably one of the best places to do it.
