I am currently a Sophomore at Embry-Riddle, and in these past two years I have had an incredible experience! The majority of courses and professors I have had have taught me valuable information for my future career, and I really enjoy how each semester the topics in my courses mesh at some points. In terms of campus atmosphere, there is a sense of community that you can find anywhere! Whether it?s an SGA or Touch N Go event, a club meeting, or even just an assignment, it?s such a focused school that you can typically relate with a lot of people. Along with this, regarding campus safety, I have never felt unsafe on campus. This is mainly because campus safety available 24/7, and the generally localized campus!

I absolutely love this school! Everyone is very goal oriented and I?ve only been here for almost two years and my life has changed in the best way possible. My professors and department are phenomenal and have given me the resources to: do graduate level research as an undergraduate, help in internship applications, help with career advice and grad school, and be a huge support to continue my program. Coming to ERAU with little experience, my time here has completely shifted my perspective on how I can succeed and build my career. I have landed a very competitive internship sophomore year and this was thanks to the phenomenal support ERAU has.

As an aerospace engineering student, I can say that Embry-Riddle is very career focused and provides so many opportunities to gain experience and connections in the engineering industry. The student life is great and there are many ways to meet your people. The class sizes are small so you can make one on one connections with your professors. If you are wanting a college where you can surround yourself with dedicated and career driven students, this is the place for you!

I believe Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a world class university. The course work is extremely hands on, the curriculum is tailored perfectly towards enriching my understanding of aerospace engineering, and the campus life and atmosphere is insanely supportive. I would not want to go to any other university in the world. Proud ERAU Student!

This is a school for those passionate about aerospace, engineering, and pilotry! World class education and networking opportunities are available here. If you want the traditional college party experience don't come here. This is a school for professionals.

If your goal oriented and do not want any of the typical college "distractions" (fun) ER is your place. Absolutely nothing to do, the people are either in ROTC or watch anime day and night. Had to transfer after sophomore year because I was really not having a good time. I did do well in classes and enjoyed them when we were in person, but check out your professors before hand, some are amazing, some suck and will make your life miserable while you pay their salary...
