<p>Speaking of honesty, ERAU has embarked on a marketing blitz which includes billboards trumpeting itself has having the “Nation’s Best Aerospace Engineering Program”. No footnotes to be found. </p>
<p>The OP was clearly influenced by this marketing campaign and believed UCF’s program to be second-rate by comparison. This, despite the fact that UCF has significantly better students, has a better freshmen retention and overall graduation rate, has 2.5X the research expenditures in aero alone….all for significantly less expense than ERAU.…a factor the OP clearly indicated was important.</p>
<p>Attack away if you must, but I feel like I was doing a service to the OP by telling him not to overlook UCF.</p>
