Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott Top Questions

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself not to worry about money. Scholarships come in just in time, and the staff at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is amazing. They'll help you in any way possible.

I would tell myself to plan a little better. I would have told myself to get on the ball and apply to more scholarships. Also i would have told myself not to worry about going to the junior college first, and go strait to the university becasue i would have recieved better scholarships and grants from the school, and if you go to the junior college you wont be eligable for them anymore.

The best advice that I could give myself is to get out of the dorm room and interact with the campus community. Having a good circle of friends is very helpful for making the transition to college life. It's far to easy to become a recluse in your dorm room who spends all of his free time playing video games and wasting time online completely ignoring the larger world outside. Furthermore, joining clubs and/or fraternities can be a critical step to meeting new people and making new friends. The next set of good advice would be to chose those groups carefully - avoiding those which blatantly disregard good sense and common decency as well as applicable laws. Specifically, don't get involved with folks who intend to go out and party with drugs or underage and excessive drinking. There is no good sense to put your entire future on the line for the sake of a little fun. If you look for folks whose values match your own, you can find groups of people who know how to enjoy life without compromising their integrity and academic futures.

I would want to tell myself that I can achieve any goal I set, I'm not going to fail if I just take the step to do something. Making a decision is part of the process and you are not alone in where you will be going. There are those who can help and encourage you not just with words but also with direction when you come to a place you think you can not over come. Just stay true to your heart and do not let life sway you away. Though you think you want to get on with your own life, you must have a way to endure what life brings. Think about the distant future, not just the 5 or 10 years that are ahead, they are easy to see. But think about life as a mother, wanting do do the best for your family, wanting to show your child how to work toward accomplishing any goal and help them to do just that.

David! Hey? DAVID! Ya? It?s me?or?you. I?ve come back in time to tell you a few things about the future, and no we don?t have flying cars yet so don't ask. However, you do have a wonderful girlfriend, and it?s NOT the crazy one you have now, and you also are attending a four year Aeronautical University! Yes, YOU David! You have what it takes Dave. Don?t doubt yourself. People will tell you that being a pilot is too hard, and that you can never make it, but let me be the first and really ONLY person to honestly tell you, ?You CAN do it.? Never underestimate yourself, or allow people to put you down because you may not the best at math, or spelling. You have ideas and dreams like the rest of the world, and a circle of friends who will help you along the way. And that new girlfriend I told you about...ya?.she?s great at math! (Wink-wink) Well, I gotta keep going back in time to the year 1955, and make sure our grandpa takes grandma to the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance! See ya!

Be ready for the work. You always hear about the social aspect but no one really prepares you for the work. There's more than you're lead to believe. Be ready to enjoy yourself but also be ready to work. It's not as easy to sail by as in high school. Take advantage of the teachers who are always willing to help and the free tutors. They're there for a reason.

I would let me know how much I'm going to struggle with the financial situation at Embry-Riddle. I would tell me to make sure I apply to as many scholarships as possible and make sure I have the necessary funds weeks ahead of time before the payments are due. I would also tell me to bring more food to the dorms for those ocassions when you can't go to the dining hall. Also, I'd tell me to take GE classes in a community college before going to the university to avoid paying too much for those classes that could've been taken at a much cheaper price somewhere else

I would tell myself to learn really good study habits. Getting good grades came easy to me in high school, yet college has a faster pace and their is little grace. Learning how to study has been the hardest part of college for me.

Enjoy the remaining time with your friends. Enjoy the comfort of home. For once I leave for college , despite what others may say, life will change, home will have a new meaning, and frequent get-togethers with your friends will beomce rare. Once my parents drop me off, wish me luck and head back home, I begin a new chapter in my life. One that will impact my life forever.

First, to look into many different colleges, even if you have one you really want to attend. I think just getting to know people at your college and joining in are very important.
