why does everyone hate Embry Riddle? the fact is it is a good school . you dont go to school to party. plus daytona beach is great fun

it has its good points and its bad points. it is a good education, but its value in the real world is questionable, depending on the degree (aero sci = worthless). Daytona Beach is not great fun. Just make the best of it, and don't be a dork, thanks.

edit: yes you damn well do go to school to party!!!!!!!!!!

People don't hate ERAU... What they like to make fun of is people who are over excited. Most ERAU students are over excited and think they are gods gift to many things..

Posts like yours kind of lead people to believe they are correct in their thinking..

Nothing at all wrong with ERAU. I have 2 degrees from the Daytona campus..

I wish I could disagree and say that its not true...but for the most part, its pretty accurate. I used to think the weenies were in the minority, but the longer I am here, the more I realize are in some fantasy mindset...

The one good thing that ERAU has been of benefit to me so far is that every job interview I went to there was a graduate that was either interviewing me or administering the sim eval. That made the $100K sting a little less when both AirNet and now NetJets have hired me.
The city of Daytona has cleaned up significantly since 2001 especially near the Hilton on A1A. I wish ERAU didn't do so much flight training in FTD's because I am still a believer of flying in "real time" training environment. None of this instructor "pretending" to be ATC and making up stupid clearances. Knowing what I know now... I would suggest someone to go to a community college to get the Gen Ed classes knocked out and go to Moms FBO to get the flight training up to Multi-Commercial then transfer into ERAU for the Pro Aeronautics degree.
I enjoyed my time there made good friends, drank good beer and didn't get herpes :laugh:

Listen, unless mommy and daddy are footing the bill for college...go to UND...its loads cheaper and youll meet alot more women, if mommy and daddy are babying you through college by taking care of all expenses...by all means go to ERAU...your correct its a great school for aviation, they have an excellent ROTC program there, but at least do me a favor and check out UND...its a great school as well and has a larger fleet than embry-riddle, and its a more rounded education. visit http://www.avit.und.edu/f1_Home/index.php for more info. I dont mean to push UND, but based on my research and experience its a better buy than ERAU.

I never understood what was wrong with parents putting their child through college.

My parents are paying for my education (and I'll do what I can to pay it back when I start working)....and I damn well plan on putting my kids through college someday.

And didn't we just have this thread like two days ago?

The #1 reason why I have never taken one flight on campus. I cannot put up with the flight department BS...so little actual flying..so much sim crap. I'm not going to practice steep turns and slowflight in a 172 simulator! Even cross countries!! They are nucking futs!

there isnt anything wrong with parents paying for college, but i find that generally speaking kids who dont pay their own way tend to slack off knowing its not their money they are wasting. I believe there is something to be said for earning it on your own, but then again 100K in debt is never fun.
