Embry-Riddle generally has incredible connects and professors, making learning and academics highly rated. However, the school cares nothing about its students and overlooks major issues including overdoses, mental health, sexual assault, and consistent food poisoning. Unless you are a cis male this school can be extremely unsafe. The scholarships are fairly available, unless you are a high income cis white male, and can help greatly with what looks like a high tuition rate.

Joey - 07/12/2021

It is an amazing school with such a great academic course. The achievements that other students there have accomplished are out of this world. Many people automatically turn away from this college cause of the price tag, but the number of opportunities that you can have from this School is exhilarating.

James

The school is great for the aviation network, but be prepared to spend a lot of money, as the cost of flying is very expensive. Remember that every scholarship and financial aid opportunity can help further you towards graduation and your major. Be prepared to expect delays in instructors for flight students.

Octavia

It's the best University I have visited. Beautiful campus and views. Good Professors there to help you with questions or work.

  10. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I mostly talk about the outstanding education staff here. They all have some for of military or government background and have a great personality to match their outstanding resume. Other things I mention are the connections you make with other students, since we're such a small campus. Sometimes, you'll find yourself with classes that upper classmen are taking, and since they're graduating before you, it gives you a chance to make connections with the corporate world before you even get out of school. Also, Air Force and Army play a large ROTC roll in Prescott.

  13. What kind of person should attend this school?

    Anyone is welcome to attend this prestigous university, but if you don't want anything to do with aeronautical talk then this university could be difficult to attend. I have, however, met some very interesting business majors that do not care for the aeronautic aspect. They were very wise and knew a lot about the business world because of the excellent teaching staff.

  14. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    What a waist of time and A LOT OF MONEY! I would highly recommend NOT going to this college! Teachers are bored and only care about their paycheck. I'm over 90,000 in student loan debt and will probably pay it off when i'm 100 years old with what they are paying pilots today! If you're thinking about flight school please go somewhere else and save a TON of money. OR reconsider becoming a pilot all together! What a waist.
