Disregard the negative reviews from people still attending riddle. You will not truly appreciate the quality of education you take away from riddle until you leave and spend a few years in the work force. Upon graduation I had little trouble finding a job. ERAU is very well known in the Aero industry, maybe not so much outside of that, but everyone within the industry has a high opinion of Riddle. Even during the peak of the economic recession I have kept my job working for Boeing and have even been offered a job with the DoD as an Aero Engineer. I know many other new grads hired around the same time I was hired and a good percentage of them were laid off within the last year. All from other schools. Myself and my friend working for Boeing, also a Riddle grad, have been spared our jobs. I highly recommend ERAU if you are looking to pursue an Aero Degree. Sure there may not be many girls there, but I assure you that the quality of education you receive will more than make up for it. Also, given the high price of admission to ERAU, the quality of the student body is a cut above any state schools. Everyone is very polite, smart, focused and clean-cut. This all makes for an excellent atmosphere. Starting Job: Design Engineer, Preparedness: A, Reputation: B+ Have a Question?

The flight department is nothing special, its filled with inexperienced flight instructors, and you can get the same instruction if not better at your local airport. Academics are easy for the most part in the Aeronautical Science Dept., but I didn't learn anything that I could not have learned hanging around pilots or an airport. The majors here are really limiting in terms of what you can do. Also ERAU boast that they have many astronaut and big time aviation alumni; dont buy into it, because many of them only got their master degree in military programs though the Worldwide Campus. Social life is what you make of it although get used to a ton of kids sitting in their computers playing flight sim on a Friday night. Girls get passed around a lot, and there are very few of them Prescott is a really nice town with great outdoor activities, but dont expect a young crowd under 50 or any kind of party scene. Many residents of the area have no idea that the school is even in their town, and the school and community dont seem to have a good relationship. In short I would not recommend this school to anyone, its cost are not worth the education at all Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

As an Aeronautical Science major I found that flying with Riddle is ridiculously over priced and very repetitive. You do the same lesson over and over again, when you think your progressing your really not. The degree is rather useless as it has no real world use outside of flying. With the shape the industry is in and current recession, I would not recommend the ERAU name simply because of the cost. Especially for incoming freshman's.. Students who go to say, UND will be in the exact same situation as a ERAU graduated except they will have only payed roughly 100 grand as opposed to 200 grand. As for the school grounds, they are decent but small. The internet provided by ResNet is terrible & slow and the food is horrible. Everyday you'll find yourself going to the cafeteria eating the same thing day after day. Campus Life on ERAU AZ is pitiful, everybody is always to themselves and stays in there room 24/7. As for the percentage of males/females. Honestly its like 95% males to 5% females. The term "Riddle Vision" pops up in every guys head once he sees any girl on this campus. The community outside Riddle is also boring and will drive you nuts after a couple of months. Prescott, AZ is primarily a retirement town with nothing whatsoever to do for college students. My only recommendation to prospective students is this, don't be blinded by the ERAU advertisements, and fully investigate ALL other options and schools before committing yourself down this path. Currently I transferred to another flight school and enjoying ever moment. Also cheaper for my wallet to! Faculty Accessibility: A, Social Life: F Have a Question?

Students entering seem to have an excellent imagination, believing that this is a rockstar job; it is, only if you're good, real good. Expect to work, unless your high school was like climbing the kiddy rock face. If you considered high school a treadmill, look elsewhere, this school might see you to your end (patience and financially). You can do exceedingly well and be rewarded for it, but don't expect this to be a glamorous job like the olden days. (How many Aerospace Engineers do you know..., any coming to mind, well there are thousands in the field.) Seriously, if building planes/spacecraft is what you think will make you happy, this is the place for you. People routinely leave here at breaks waiting to come back, the town might suck and sometimes you might be board, but there is no place like Embry-Riddle. Go Eagles....
