I graduated from MTSU in May 2006 and I'm instructing now in Smyrna. I am going to have to agree with Berkut--there is NO way to get your ratings in one year. At MTSU, its basically a license/rating a semester and I always had trouble getting it done in the time allotted. With so many people out there trying to fly, you simply cannot fly enough to get it all done in a year.

MTSU is a great school because its not JUST Aerospace. Sure, I love airplanes as much as everyone else on here but sometimes I want to talk politics or go see a play or SOMETHING not involving an airplane. Pilots are notoriously one-track-minded I've found and its nice to have a few "English major friends" in the mix. MTSU is a large school (almost 23,000 this semester) but it retains a small school feeling. The average class size is somewhere in the low thirties I believe (I know that is what it used to be a couple of years ago).

I love living in Murfreesboro, its a small town with a lot of history. Its growing though--which is nice because its getting to the point where you rarely have to leave Murfreesboro for entertainment/food options.

If you do the pro-pilot thing... have something to fall back on. I didn't do this--but I think minoring in Insurance is a great idea. No matter what industry you are in--insurance will be involved.

PM me if you need more details.
