It isn't too expensive either, I agree, nice place.

I think I was mistaken, it was wood or woods something....but that is only from what I have heard. I have not personally seen any places around vero except the dorms. I hear it from others so take what I said earlier with a grain of salt.

Great, thanks for the info...
OBTW is there any need for a scanner or any other fancy equipment I should acquire b/f starting training?

Yeah, you are thinking of Walker Club, which is kinda ghetto. Walker woods is awesome. I actually live there. I would also suggest checking out other means of living. Real estate is incredibly cheap at the moment. You could get a 4 bedroom house with double the space to rent for the same price as a two bedroom apartment. I am actually in the process of doing that myself with some friends.

The dorms are fine. It makes moving down here simple because they are furnished and don't require a lease. I would say it just depends on your goals and how long you think you may be living down here. I lived on campus when I first moved here and when I met people I moved out. It definatly is nice to get away from campus drama, if you know what I mean. But I would say it's all personal preference. I know plenty of people who are prefectly happy staying on campus, it's a bit more expensive in the long run though. Also keep in mind, that if you plan on instructing at FSI, they will ask you to move off campus when you get hired to make room for incoming students... just FYI.

Everyone

Thnx for the insight

Anyone know if Veteran's Affair will cover 60% of the ENTIRE cost, or do they pro-rate it out (like over 4 year college), and not expecting to have to pay out a huge lump sum payment after 4 months?
Does FSA help with A. Hiring CFI/CFII themselves or B. Helping with FBO placement to help build up those hours?

Thanks for any feedback!

Here is the most important question ever asked:

What is the male/female ratio of students at FSA?

I heard that women in Vero are usually <14 or >40. So how do you guys retain your sanity?

[Crockrocket94]

I have a gf back home... (PA)


So it doesnt really bother me.

But thats a partially true dilemma.

It's more of a joke than a reality... but its still kinda true you get alot of the older crowd at the bars.. and the beach is full of 14 yr olds who think they are 20ish.


i would say about 1 girl for every 10 guys would be a safe bet.

[fltjunkie]

I'll jump back in too...do you guys/girls have or keep aircraft rental insurance while in training at FSA? or does the school cover it w/ cost of tuition? Just wondering since I saw Ari-iben student had a mishap or ldg gear malfunxn, whatever this week


Thx

Reguarding the girl situation in Vero, I almost killed myself the first three months. My g/f and I broke up when I moved down here. Talk about being left high and dry. And be weary of the FSA girls. They're not worth the trouble. Luckily, the dry spell is over

[Crockrocket94]

Good Stuff mike.

Who are ya datin'?

I'm seeing a girl from Port St. Lucie. I honestly couldn't believe a girl this hot (and with all of her teeth) existed in this area. She doesn't have any kids either! YAY! LOL

[Crockrocket94]

Hahah, even in Ft Piece (hehe) there can be hope

[soonerpilot06]

Yes you are covered on insurance.

Why should I be "weary of the FSA girls"? Is it because all the guys are constantly competing (high male to female ratio), or just because you don't find the women who attend FSA attractive? This should be interesting...

Thanks for the responses, by the way!

Well yes, most of the guys are trying to bone the hot ones. But there's just too much drama going on. Everyone knows everything about everyone. I also think that a lot of the girls have the, "let's have as much fun as we can with as many guys as we can while we are here" mentality. Yeah, not really my thing, but I really can't blame them. I mean imagine if the situation was reversed. I'd ever leave this place.

[JeffGreeley]

Awesome answer, Mike! I can see what you mean regarding all the drama. That's exactly what I hated about high school! It's too bad FSA doesn't have the Chinese contract just yet (correct me if I'm wrong)... Asian women are where it's at... and French... and Israeli... well, I could go on for a while.
