Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott Campus — Attraction in Prescott

The review posted by Rodger Ramjet is not an accurate representation of all Riddle students, rather a noisy few that he got mixed up with.

Sorry Mr. Ramjet, but you can't generalize all students at Riddle by an experience you had by renting to a few of them and not maintaining a good discipline of your home. I'm sure AZ laws enable you to evict anyone that hasn't agreed to the lease terms, assuming you put THAT in the terms. It's your responsibility to maintain your rented home, not to demean Embry-Riddle students to the whole world.

Additionally, the review space is for reviewing the UNIVERSITY.

So,

Embry-Riddle is a fantastic University, in my experience, for engineering students primarily. I say this because I have NO experience with the other majors. The engineering department has many useful labs including a supersonic wind tunnel. They have a full machine shop with expert machinist to help with the manufacture of student projects. It seems to me that nearly every professor in each college is fully committed to the success of his or her students, rather than the stories I hear about professors being primarily interested in the success of their career and research. Also, Riddle is a fantastic school for former military personnel. Many faculty, including the Vice President (2012) are former military and help out student veterans as much as they...

Zero student life, neglected campus, flight department is run in an incredibly incompetent manner. Overpriced and hit or miss quality. The local community college has a nicer campus because ERAU has their old campus from the 1970s. The food got me and many others incredibly sick, there is often pink chicken if that is to your liking, however. The school continues to admit larger and larger freshman classes while neglecting to build more housing, resulting in forced triples in half of the rooms in the newest dorm. The large freshman classes also make it so that their flight instructors have far too many students and you will most likely not finish you private pilot's license within a year, an incredibly pathetic figure given the university's reputation. Ask any student how they feel about the school and they will likely echo similar frustrations. Keep in mind this is all while paying tens of thousands of dollars a semester. Campus security is also hit or miss, you will either encounter the nicest man alive or the most egotistical, condescending, power tripping maniac. Kind of makes you wonder if they are curious about the roughly 50% dropout rate. DO...

This school doesn’t care about their students. All they care about is the money they get from them. On the first parent meeting, the director only cared to advertise for their masters program. These were first time college students and the leadership is prioritizing advertising a Master’s program?? Are you kidding me. They don’t care about helping your son or daughter transition. After paying in full, don’t be surprised to have more and more ridiculous charges on your child’s account. And even if it’s their mistake and it’s admitted by a staff member, everyone in the cashiers office is too afraid to do anything about it. And so you’re still left with the charge. IT’S AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD. IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE A TRANSITIONING ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO LEARN AND GROW, DONT COME HERE. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE. I have other children in other universities and I’ve never seen anything like this before. Avoid it and go somewhere else. To be clear, this was at the Embry-Riddle...
