Review of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach
from South Daytona Beach, FL
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
There is A LOT of material to study and you need to study extra stuff on your own to be successful. If you cannot commit to studying EVERY DAY then pick a different school.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The university is very diverse and you can learn a lot about different people and different cultures. Remember that most of what you learn in college is learned outside of the classroom. There are tons of things to do here and tons of amazing clubs you can join.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The embry-riddle name is a great asset to have on your application - many companies will hire you just on the fact that you made it through the school; however, the cost does not mean you will always have a state-of-the-art education experience. Often you will find yourself in charge of your own education, having to learn on your own. Also, there is very little - if any - financial aide. The engineering classes are worth the money (if you get a good teacher), but classes in other departments are WAY overpriced. Remember that YOU are the one paying for it and the teachers and staff WORK FOR YOU. Make sure they are working hard for their money and take advantage of every resource available!!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you do not have strong willpower and a set goal to work towards, this school is probably not the best choice for you. If you plan on studying engineering, make sure you know how to study and learn on your own before attending.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Self-motivated, smart students who can manage their time and education well. ALSO: the school administration SUCKS!!!! If you cannot handle dealing with administrators and fixing errors and going through the riddle run-around back and forth to different offices (none of which know whats going on), I suggest you start from day one learning how this school operates and GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!!!
