Absolutely loved my experience at ERAU in Prescott! 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.

This school seems to challenge many in this program. 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....

Although there are some things about this school that can be seen as a negative, I am loving every minute here. The facilities are very nice, and the people are also very nice. Despite being in a very conservative town, the people at the University are generally very understanding, and accomodating. The housing is pretty nice, and there are amazing clubs to do. I am a part of Hang Gliding, and RXP/DSLC(Developing Space Launch Capability). There are also a lot of cultural opportunities here, albeit not as much as at my high school, in Tacoma, WA, but there are a lot of international students.

Embry Riddle was overall a great experience. I was in the business/safety program. When I went on my first job interview after graduation (I got the job), I remember thinking "oh my gosh, this is exactly what my degree program prepared me for!". The professors experience and in-depth cirriculum could not have better prepared me. The networking within in the industry is also a major bonus with being an ERAU grad. For example, one out of every three airline pilots in the united states today is an ERAU alumni--if you don't believe me, just ask the flight crew on your next flight. I have worked with numerous other ERAU graduates and all had similar experiences to mine. I plan on pursuing my Master's degree through Embry Riddle. If I had a choice to "do it all over again", I would not hesitate to come back to Embry Riddle.
