Default Training at Lafayette Aviation

I just got a letter of acceptance today into the Krannert School of Management at Purdue. I plan on getting a business degree as a fallback from aviation. Can anyone fill me in on what to expect in terms of training at Lafayette Aviation? I plan on finishing my ratings from commercial thru CFI there (hopefully will have my instrument by the end of the summer). Any current students have any advice on what halls are best to live in? I plan on going there for a visit sometime this fall so any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

It's like any FBO and the nice thing is they have a variety of aircraft (to include a multi!).

However, they do have the advantage of most of the instructors coming from the flight program. So, if you want, you can have them teach you to Purdue's standards.

Live in Shreve. It's air conditioned. "Co-ed" is the biggest misnomer as a description of the dorms. They're not "co-ed" in the least.

At LafAv, there's an instructor with the initials of M.L. Fly with him.
