I got accepted to both ERAU Prescott & Virginia Tech for engineering. Though I overall prefer VT, the 65,000 a year price tag might just make it infeasible for me. Surprisingly, ERAU seems to be somewhat divisive even on its own subreddit, & I have heard of overcrowding issues on the Daytona campus. For those of you at the Prescott campus for engineering, how is it & could you honestly recommend someone like me attend for 4 years?

Hi - I will be starting in August studying AE. I need to keep a 2.5 gpa to maintain my scholarship. Is this very difficult? I will work hard but curious if there are a lot of C's and below given out. Thanks!

Hi. So, I got accepted into Embry Riddle for aerospace engineering. Then, just yesterday, I got of the waitlist for Virginia Tech for general engineering with an interest in aerospace. I am wondering which one will have a better campus life, better location, & overall which one will give me a better education.

Have anyone had any success with an Engineer Degree from the University? Any information or assistant you provide me with will be greatly appreciated.

Looking to start an online masters program and curious to know how manageable it is. I’m finishing up my bachelors with erau and have been able to balance ok with having a full time job. I know a masters program can be more rigorous and time consuming. Any inputs or opinions of how challenging this may be?

Incoming freshman this fall at DB for AE. Should I pick professors for 1st year or do we get assigned automatically?

What are other advice that you would give? Anything that you wish you did differently or anyone should simplify be aware of ?

Thanks

Hello everyone, first time poster long time lurker. I will be attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, this fall as an Aeronautical Science major. I am currently planning my budget and would appreciate some advice from current students or alumni.
My goal is to live off campus, most likely in Port Orange, and I will be paying for my flight training out of pocket. I have started researching apartments in the area, but before making any final decisions, I would like to get a better understanding of what a realistic and sustainable income would look like while attending school. For those who have been in a similar situation, what would you consider a livable wage that allows you to comfortably cover rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and flight costs? Any insight on budgeting, housing recommendations, or general financial advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Would like to hear some thoughts from anyone who got their cfi ratings at Riddle vs outside. It’s better financially for me to do it at my home airport but a cadet program I’m in requires me to do everything on campus. Just graduated the AS program and I’m torn between holding on to that program or leaving
