Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach Top Questions

Campuses should be visited with a tour of the campus to check out the facilities. If the student can contact current students beforehand it would be beneficial. Check out websites and books that rank the school, and do so in an unbiased way. To make the most of the college experience, get involved in clubs and other organizations. Take advantage of the knoweldge of the professors. Take advantage of the school's resources. Go to career fairs and lectures to learn more about your industry. GPAs count more, so take classes seriously.

There are very few girls here. Do not come here if you're the kind of guy that measures his worth by the notches on his bed-post. And girls, this school is full of nerds, many of us have little experience with girls, so we can be really awkward around you.

My best advice would be to stay focused on the future. A lot of parents and students loose track of what their long term goals are and they lower their standards to fit their present needs. If you want to be a doctor, go to the school with the best medical college, do not settle on what is cheap or convenient. You will only hurt yourself in the long run. Understand that college will not always be easy or fun but what you get out of college will almost guarantee you success for your future and maybe even the future of your children or children's children.

GO VISIT!!! YOU MUST VISIT THE COLLEGE!!!!

It depends on what the student wants to do. If the student knows exactly what they want to do and the best college in that field is affordable to the parents, then that should be the college of choice. Chosing the best college in the field of choice should be the deciding factor for students. Second should be activities and social life around campus. Most state colleges are party schools and most private colleges are more academic based. Acedemics should always come first, however the student does need some time to relax from class. A balance of the best academics and some variety of social clubs would be the best choice. To make the most out of college, the best decision would be to see your professors during office hours and get tutoring when you need it. Then, when you have time, go have fun.

It is important for students to take a very good look at themselves before choosing the college that is right for them. Depending on their personality, their interests, and their desire for knowledge vs. their desire for parties, a prospective student can make the proper choice for where they want to be. All students should look into each college's cost, available clubs and organizations, available new technology, and available social life. By finding the answers to these four things, one can make an appropriate decision on where they should go to school. For instance, lets look at the student who cares only about his career. He should find a school with a lot of clubs (which are usually a great source for knowledge), a lot of new technology available, and maybe not such a great social life. The student would also probably be willing to pay more for a better education. The party student however should probably look for a low cost school, with a good social life, probably not as much of an emphasis on technology, but still with many different options as far as clubs and organizations.

Visit all possible colleges that pertain to your needs.

Get oriented. Read all the fineprint and before comitting to a school becuase of the price make sure to know what is and what is not included in the amount. Many parents make the mistake of believing that tuition includes housing and dinning fees, and later are dissapointed to find out that those are an extra 5 Grand. Also, choose a school based on academic pride and study habits. Some schools are based on party atmospheres and others concentrate on scholastics. Choosing a school for the wrong atmosphere will only hinder you in the long run. The best school for a student is that which makes you excited on the inside and practices your true passion for learning.

good luck...you pay for the name not the education, I do have an amazing job because of ERAU but it's very $$$$

Look for financial aid. You will get a superior education with small class sizes and helping professors, but everything good comes at a cost.

Pick a college that you like the looks of and are comfortable being at. If you don't your time there will probably be less pleasurable than if you had chosen one you liked.

Find somewhere with small class sizes. The one-on-one aspect with your teachers is priceless.

To find the right college you really have to visit the campus and take a tour. Usually tours are given by students and that way you get to have a little insight into the school. When you select a major, I would say to find the school that has the best credentials in that major. For me, I wanted to be a pilot so I chose the best flight school in America regardless of price because I knew that I would immediately have a job lined up after graduation. To make the most of a your college experience is to meet people and interact. Usually activity fairs take place and to go around and look at what extra curricular things the school has available is a big help. Make a lot of friends because they will be your friends for a long time., guarenteed! I'm not not part of greek life but I know people who are and if you have the time, Frats and Sororities are awesome things to be a part of.

As any other student do a good research, preferably if you can , do touring of the campus, speak with students that are actually attending , ask them about everything you want to know. As any other business the school will advertise itself as the best one to attract the students. Go online, research in forums or even Facebook, try get insight information from someone currently attending. Look in the surroundings as well for apartments, because in the future you might want to live off campus. Also, talk to people who work in the industry for which the college offers degress towards, for example: ask pilots what do they know and or recommend about Embry-Riddle. Use lots of resources , magazines, internet, forums , including Facebook. Most importantly, do your research, have various options, apply to many , do not settle just for one.

Make sure you are ready to take on one of the greatest challenges and best experiences you will ever endure in you life; because the second you let yourself slip and get behind, you'll be paying for it during the rest of your college career.

If you are trying, nay, wanting, to live up to your dream, never give up and persevere if it truly means so much to you. If you learn new things about the path you plan on taking and realize this path will be fine for you, and you have no doubts, then make sure to always think understanding thoughts and to never have worry - for your thoughts define who you are. Always remember: what goes around, certainly comes around. If you make a struggle for something and hold on with a fine glimmer of hope, you will realize that your patience will pay off to the very end which leads to a new beginning. Most importantly, you need to search inside yourself for what is right for you. Just because a certain career may give you a more impressive cut than another, does not mean it is better. Listen to what your inner self feels comfortable with, and go with the flow of that realization. If you, on the other hand, just follow the path of a certain career just because it pays well, then you might find it difficult to express the passion you need for it. Remember that.

be sure that you have access to enough money to pay for it.

The best advice any student can get in selecting a college is "to thine own self be true. " College is a life-altering experience and each individual will be motivated (or stressed) by very different experiences. Just because a school has a great reputation it may be a horrible match for the student. Some students need an active social life and some need quiet study time. Some students thrive on class attention in discussions others prefer to remain obscure in large lecture rooms. Some students are hands-on learners, some absorb best listening to lectures and taking notes. Some students are ready to leave home and others need more time to grow before leaving the safety of friends and family. Some people like the bustle of cities and others like pastoral beauty. Some students need many athletic and cultural opportunities while some can spend all evening with video games and television. Students all thrive in different environments. There is a lot of pressure to go to the very "best" school so students come out with marketable degrees. Students must resist the allure of status and choose the reality of chemistry. Know thyself and college will be a rewarding adventure!
