Based on what? Smells like a troll to me.
I wondered for a while too, but agree with Rickair....why? There weren't any clues or tell-tale signs that it was tongue-in-cheek hyperbole; no implied "wink-wink."

LAXturd.....you're making the rest of us Riddle'ites look worse than the reputation that precedes us. Please tell me you are one of the guys when asked to introduce yourself......"Hi...I'm Jon....I'm from SoCal and I got my PPL at Santa Monica before I got here brah."
Many ERAU grads are great guys and great pilots, but The Golden Egos did nothing for the school.
It was a good education. But the flying was built for making a shat ton of money off a bloated hour-building syllabus.
^^^ This. (Although I was unfamiliar with the Golden Eagles).
I had quite a few ERAU guys as Air Force student pilots. They were usually nice kids, with a decent education, but generally middle of the pack in overall flying performance. I think most of them went through a period of reckoning where they came to terms with the reality that there was a lot more to aviation than they had been shown at ER. (And I think they had some guilt that someone paid a whole lot of money for a school that didn't give them as big an advantage as they had hoped).
