Review of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide
from Great Falls, MT
Describe your college in three sentences.
The worlds most respected and foremost academic leader in the aviation industry. Widest selection of aviation majors of any university. All instructors are required to have aviation speciality backgrounds, they teach more experience than books!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A love for aerospace, and anything that flies or you want to work on the bleeding edge of the aviation industry.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There are no free ride classes here, you might be sweating bullets through each course, but in the end you WILL know, you either earned that grade or not.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Depends, there are 2 campuses with dorms, however the Worldwide campus is by distance learning and has class locations across the country or you can join online from home. Worldwide you live at home so no dorm life.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The worldwide campus has no cafeteria or food courts, you get your own nutritious home cooked meals everyday.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There can be any number of academic technological challenges open for worldwide students but primarily this is distance learning so the fun is in your own neighborhood so to speak.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Due to the highly technological studies and the costs needed for ERAU to attract the right instructors and professors with the best skill sets this university is a tad bit more expensive than your community college or state university but not near as bad an any ivy league school. Employeers give serious consideration to ERAU graduates.
