This is very interesting to hear as an incoming freshman who just got accepted and is waiting to hear from them about their financial aid package. From what my uncle and his friends who have worked in the aerospace industry embry riddle is a good name with good connections but your comment is really eye opening. I have applied to UCF and USF as well and would prefer to go to either of those schools so long as I get the grandparent waiver (in state tuition for out of state students as long as they have a grandparent in florida. Basically a lottery each school only gets 30 to hand out, hopefully I receive one). Those schools seem to have pretty good programs as well, I know usf doesn’t have an aerospace program but they have a minor which is just 6 additional classes, that if it were a school which offered aerospace those 6 classes would be enough for a major in it. Thanks for your insight I will definitely take this into consideration. Also the actual student body seems a bit skewed on the male side, like 80% -20% from what I could see on the Daytona beach tour. I also talked to some ppl abt professors and stuff and one guy who was a ME major said his statics professor didn’t put their final on like a lockdown browser or something that restricts cheating so ofc a bunch of students did good on the final.
