I have to admit that I enjoy the
I have to admit that I enjoy the overall experience at Embry-Riddle. But the very last year, I went into depression for more than a year. It's a because of the HORRIBLE "PROFESSOR" Tinoco Janet.

She is the worst. No professor should embarrass her student in front of the whole class, gossip at people's back, or roll her eyes at any particular student in public.

I'm a straight A student, and I was treated like that, out of nowhere. No explanation has been made, or apology, after i reported it to the Dean and Program Coordinator. The politics in this school sucks. No appeal from student will be heard.

Question
The teachers are descent and the education isQuite BrightOther
The teachers are descent and the education is up to par. It is challenging, but if you work hard, you will succeed here. I did fairly well, receiving Magna Cum Laude, and was active i. The university( President of two student organizations). My biggest problems are with the administration and the flight department. The administration is an absolute joke. They put up veils of students mattering and they care, but you would have a better chance of being taken care of at a huge college. For such a small college, you would think you actually mattered. Not so. The flight program is just as bad. The flight training is above standards. HOWEVER, they are infamous for letting you sit while you wait for your flight tests. They mandate you to keep retraining for your tests, which would be fine, baring you didn't wait rediculously long for the exam due to their lack luster administration. When I took my commercial flight test away from ERAU, it was the best decision of my life, even after the flight department told me I would fail and tried to intimidate me to do as they instructed. Overall great school....terrible administration. Go somewhere else.

Question
If you are an AS Major without aQuite BrightOther
If you are an AS Major without a private license and are not dedicated enough to work 5-6 days a week you are bound to fail. However, I came in with my private license (thank god) and did not have to go through the horrific struggle of trying to get through private. Not to mention how incredibly expensive it is to get private at Embry-Riddle, it takes students an average of about 3 semesters. On top of this, waiting for a checkride takes literally a month and a half and the whole process is just beyond stressful. A good portion of the Flight Instructors are only here to get the hours and really dont share the same passion as a lot of students trying there hardest here. Ive heard all the bad stories and how hard people work to get there private and it sounds terrible. My advice: If you are not willing to work hard and/or come in with ur private, take a look in the mirror and think about picking a different school or even a different profession. The graduation rate is only 52%, according to FASFA and the social life could be the worst in the country.
