Hear Ya Man

Graduated from SEOSU in 98', but not with an aviation degree. Just started working on my private a couple of months ago. If I had known then what I know now, I would have went that route.

Good luck with the private, and I wish that foresight was just as 20/20 as hindsight...

If you're going to go to SE OSU, go to OU. We've got a flight school thats at least equal and much more to do in Norman/Oklahoma City, than in Durant, Oklahoma.

to be honest Oklahoma State has the best out of all three. about 26 airplanes all kept up well with three twins. i visited both OU and SEOSU programs and they don't even campare in the least bit to OSU. just a suggestion. plus down in SEOSU you won't stumble upon a decent looking girl anywhere. OSU is loaded in that department

I wouldn't recommend getting a degree in aviation in this climate. Get your degree in something practical and fly on the side. An aviation degree means little if anything to the airlines, only your ratings and experience are important.

plus down in SEOSU you won't stumble upon a decent looking girl anywhere. OSU is loaded in that department

Actually I hear Stoolwater has lots of decent looking sheep to choose from!!!

OU 41
OSU 21

BOOMER SOONER!

Most of my friends with to Okla. State. I spend time up there. There are some good looking ladies, but from walking around OU's campus, there are alot more down here.

In addition, OU is getting a brand new fleet of Warriors this January along with refurbishing one of its Senecas and possibly replacing its other Seneca with a Baron.

Good game today! OSU took advantage of OU's (numerous) screw-ups and stayed in the game - had me just a little nervous.

As far as good-looking girls, check out Playboy's Girls of the Big XII issue (haven't seen a new one for awhile). OU's diffenitely has OSU beat, but CU wins hands down - they didn't put any of the hairy hippie-chicks in the issue!

As far as picking a college I would make these my priorities:
1. Price/value - go to a good in-state school
2. Academics - especially in your choosen field (not aviation!)
3. Decent flight school - either on campus (for elective credits) or nearby
4. Girls/booze - college should be a good time, don't ruin it by going to an all-male school like ERAU!
5. Campus and facilities

I wanted to say that OSU and OU are good aviation programs. But the fact is that SOSU far exceeds those two other schools. First all the professors and even the heard of the aviation program at sosu departed OSU. The professors at SOSU stated that OSU and OU think aviation is vocational training and that it should not even be a aviation degree program. All the professors at OSU left that college and felt like SOSU was a place where aviation will grow. Dr.Conway has made the program at SOSU a top notch program.


If you guys do all your research you will realize that overall for the price, quality of education and one one one training with the professors, SOSU is the best choice.

Hey, thanks for the response.

I just wanted to clarify the statement you made above. Is it saying that OU and OSU believe aviation is vocational training?

Or

Is it saying that the professors at SOSU believe aviation programs at OU and OSU are vocational training?

at OSU the president stated that being a pilot is just a vocational trade and that OSU should not even offer a degree in Aviation. Many of the professors at OSU did not agree with what the president had to say. So they left and went to SOSU.

The president at SOSU feels the opposite. HE feels that aviation is a growing field and if you want to be a professional pilot, SOSU will offer you the best education and training and 100% believes that a degree is totally required in this 21 century.

IF you want to be a average pilot go to a FBO and get your rating but if you want to become a real professional, than SOSU is the place to be. TRUST me, people who graduate from the aviation program at SOSU are really good pilots. They think outside the box, they are more open minded and have more confident in their flying ability.

SOSU almost got a co-op with southwest Airlines. The chief pilot at southwest is a SOSU grad, the flight ops director at Continental AIrlines is a female SOSU grad. Their are a lot of American Airlines pilot that attended SOSU. SOSU has one of the oldest aviation programs compared to OSU or OU. Why would NASA give as a donation a FOXXER F27, why was not OU or OSU offered the F27. Why does SOSU have a program with the US Airforce.

I am not against OSU or OU or any other aviation university, but I am just saying SOSU for the cost and quality of training and wonderful professors, it is a great place to be. Their are so many out of state students at SOSU. It is a diverse program.
