<p>Sorry this was part of my old thread but I think it got lost amid all the traffic...</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone's heard anything about this school? Any aspects of it would be helpful..I am looking to study Aviation program there, I haven't had a very positive experience so far with North Dakota (kind of an odd application process). </p>
<p>Anyways, any info on the school or the surrounding city (Kalamazoo, MI) would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>This according to 15 YO son who went to an aviation camp there two summers ago and was given the "sales pitch": Great simulator can get licensed on just using that, large fleet of Cessnas and Cirruses. Paintball very nearby (Whole in the Wall, Bangor, MI).</p>
<p>This according to daughter who just completed a semester of dual enrollment there: A handful of restaurants within walking distance of campus: pizza, Jimmy John's. Not much available on campus in the way of snacks/food--mostly vending machines. Can't speak to dining commons/cafeterias. (Most classes (if not all?) would take place in the airport facilities, so not sure how much campus matters.) Div. I football and, I think, hockey. Kalamazoo/Portage has an ample supply of retail establishments accessible by bus: theater, mall, Target. Miller Auditorium on campus is a beautiful facility that hosts a continuous stream of Broadway shows. Commuter parking is very limited on campus. WMU hosts a Medieval history conference every year.</p>
<p>This is (obviously) by no means comprehensive--just a collection of factoids. Hope it helped.</p>
<p>Bump!</p>
<p>Thanks for the info Schmoomcgoo, very insightful and appreciated!!</p>
<p>A guy from my school turned down princeton and harvard to go there, so it couldn't be too bad. Of course, he's also a football star.</p>
