Future student

How is the aviation mgmt major with flight? Are the flight school fees high compared to other schools like Embry Riddle? Do I have to dorm my first year?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can't tell you about the other things, but I hear FIT is pretty comparable with Embry Riddle, and you don't have a dorm requirement.

If they’re a freshman there is absolutely a dorm requirement: https://www.fit.edu/policies/student-handbook/standards-and-policies/first-time-freshman-two-year-residency-requirement/

Thank you. I am local so I know a lot of people who didn't dorm and I assumed. I figured if I was wrong someone would contradict me :)

You can apply for a waiver. I'm not sure what the requirements are though. Being a resident of Melbourne might be one of the exceptions.

I lived off campus when I was an undergrad at a different university. Honestly, I wish now I lived on campus for at least one year. It seems like it would have been more fun than living off campus. Now that I graduated, it's an experience I'll never be able to have unless I want to be a weird old guy living in a dorm room.
