But the rest of the story is that not one of those astronauts have been from the flight program - they were all engineers.

On top of all that if they still do Breakfast Club you're in for a treat.

God bless the Breakfast Club!!! I was there the year that Harry's caught on fire -- there were THOUSANDS of people on the lawn of the union and what was then the Grad Student housing watching.
I was accepted at both as well -- Indiana State is a good school with a solid aviation program but if you have the opportunity then it's Purdue hands down! You'll have exposure to things at Purdue that simply aren't available at ISU. The advanced sims, the King Air and Beechjet programs, relationships with airlines (mainly Chautauqua), etc.
I used to guest lecture there about once a semester but haven't been back for a while - it's about time for another trip north.
Feel free to PM or ask any questions on here that you may have...I graduated in 98 so my info is becoming a bit dated but I still maintain my ties to the school.
