If you want to be a professional pilot then definitely look into Riddle's flight program. If it's a hobby, fly at a different flight school off campus. It's simply too expensive and time consuming if it is not your major of study. This is my only real major regret at this school.
I found the social scene pretty adequate, I was never left without anything to do, but again, I'm a female so it works a lot differently for girls at this school. As far as Daytona Beach, it's really not difficult to find something to do, regardless of your interests. It is a small tourist town so you will have to put up with the annual influx of shenanigans from high school spring breakers and bikers but for the most part, I was never bored.Overall, if you're serious about your degree field and you research it before attending so you understand the tumultuous aviation job market, you will be fine. However, be prepared to pay. Dearly. I would argue the education and experience is worth it, but you will definitely be paying off these loans for a long, long time. My best friend just finished his engineering masters degree (accelerated 5 year program) here with a few flight courses and is now $200k in student loan debt. This is considered fairly normal.
All and all Embry-Riddle is a great school and I am proud that I attend! I wont be getting my masters at this school though because I want to show variety and that I am able to adapt to new situations in my resume. I would definitely recommend ERAU for someone who is serious about school work!
