ERAU is a waste. I just left the Prescott campus after one year. It wasn't because it was too hard, or the flying was bad. It was because ERAU was bad. $226 an hour for a C172S is absurd. $141 an hour hobbs + anywhere between $27-$36 an hour for fuel + $49 an hour for instruction. Are you kidding me? For What? On top of that, ~$32,500 a year for tuition.
I can go on and on, but ERAU residential campuses are a waste. Riddle puts it in people's heads that when you leave, you WILL get an airline job. I know several people who have left ERAU after 3 or 4 years, no airline job.
Also, $155,000~$200,000 in debt when you leave....awesome.
Extended campus is the way to go. 1/4 of the cost, flight on your own (which you get credit for), and a degree which will work as good as a degree from the residential campus.
