Review of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott
from Cave Creek, AZ
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University does not sell you short on education by any means! This school is very focused and so getting to work learning a topic is a must. Although some days can be stressful from the overload of knowledge, there are some superb teachers working day, and sometimes nights as well, to make sure that what you are learning is really sinking in. It is not uncommon at this school to stay an additional 1 or 2 more years after the initial 4 years just because of the amount of information is so great. But it is worth the patience.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Although school is stressful with the constant work, the location is very nice - a small enough town to concentrate on school but still have plenty to do in the surrounding areas from indoors to outdoors. My three years here so far have gone very quickly!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As said before, this school does not sell one short on education! The school is a bit on the pricey side but I would not go any where else. The atmosphere of aviation meets engineering, location where seasons occur, teachers who are dedicated non-stop, and the indispensable education make this college an extreme bang for the buck.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
For prospective students, getting a head start before coming to this school is very important. As an engineering student, I would focus on physics and calculus. Those are the basics of anything you will do in the engineering world and just having a head start on those subjects can greatly ease the journey ahead. A second tip is know that you enjoy aeronautics in one way, shape, or form. Even if you do not pursue an aeronautics degree, the surrounding students, teachers, and even buildings have an emphasis on flying.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school really reaches out to prospecting engineers, pilots, global security intelligence majors, and some aspects of business. It's a great school for analytical thinkers, minds of security and dedicated fliers alike who want to create for, fly into, or protect their futures.
