Sorry to hijack your thread, Ren:
May seem a pointless question (given that if you really want it you'll put the work in ragardless), but i'm at a good uni at the mo studying aero engineering which is, um, hard enough.
Can anyone give me an idea of how intense a course the atpl is in relation to such a subject? Maybe from personal experience. And also, at LMU are you thrown in with 1st degree students at the uni (in terms of accommodation if you need it) that may be keen to p*ss their 1st year's up the wall? Not good to be distracted when it's your money and not the tax paying public's that's moistening the bricks and mortar...
