<p>Hey there</p>
<p>I have an admissions offer from florida tech and erau for spring 2012 and the fee from both is 34K and 33K usd (I have scholarship of 14k frm FLTech n 6k from ERAU). I have a decision to make but finances is an issue for me. If i go to either right now i will have to loan 20k a year. my major is aerospace engg and i am an international student. we do not have aerospace schools in my country.
the dilemma is that all that i have read on the internet it seems that FLTech can provide me with another need based 10k while as ERAU won't. Then the co-op program is an issue. I can't find enough details about co-ops at erau. while as FLTech website says that co-ops can earn me 30k. I talked to erau officials and students and they said that it is not possible to increase to scholarship amount and on campus jobs are less too.
Now the worth of erau is known to every one. This is where i can't find any comparisons to fltech on the internet. nobody compares their programs and their prestige. Prestige wise ERAU seems much better but i have a consideration of finances and i plan to enroll in graduate school ryt after undergrad and believe that i will maintain a good gpa at college, my target is not less than 3.7. I plan on a graduate school from CalTech, MIT,GTech and likes.
Please help me choose. i am really getting confused</p>
