|  Managing costs
Hi guys i had a question for all current FSI students about the costs. Lets face it the costs are fairly high, but i believe quality has something to do with that. So i was wondering how are you guys managing the costs ? Especially international students. Thanks tj |

Well, I'm a graduate, so I'm paying off the costs...er, supposed to be. What I do to manage, is set my cell phone ringer for Key Bank to that song, "I wanna %^&$ you like an animal...." by Nine Inch Nails. Then when they call, the ringer already tells me what they were going to say anyways (in different words, most likely), and I can just hit ignore.  |

The way that I managed costs was by passing my checkrides as close to the minimums as possible. I had all of my expenses financed including living expenses, when I finished FSI actually gave me a check for a couple grand! By that point it was a drop in the bucket though. The prices that were quoted on the website and in their course syllabus were fairly accurate. It just costs more than your mom and pop's operation!

You really should call the marketing department. They can answer all of these questions for you. The people you talk to are all students working in the marketing office. I believe, but I'm not sure, that most of the pro-formas are on the academy website too. www.flightsafetyacademy.com Grayson |

Every lesson and what it will cover is listed in the course syllabus. If you know what each lesson will cover you can prepare for it by memorizing the correct checklist and the procedures for the maneuvers to be covered. If you are as prepared as possible you will save money compared to the average student.

Veer where are u from? Just so you know i was and international student, and because of that i couldnt go to college until now. THERE WERE NO LOANS OUT THERE for international students!!  If you plan on going to Flight Safety, or any other school The dept of homeland security requires all foreing students to show full financial capability to attend. Were talking 70-80K! Citibank offers a Co-Signer type of loan for foreign students but the Co-Signer must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident . I think its called Citiassist loans. Hope that helps  |
