I regret going to ERAU everyday...

Yes other private universities cost the same. The difference is that many of the graduates at other schools will be making a reasonable salary after graduation. Their investment paid off for them. This is not the case for a large majority of ERAU graduates. The ERAU people will be paid very low wages for several years in the aviation industry. The investment does not pay off for the ERAU people. It is a personal decision, I just want people to have the facts to consider.

Hello
I am 2005 ERAU grad. I drank the Kool-aid just like everyone else that went that poor excuse for a University. My sophomore year I realized that everything about that school is b.s. My parents where helping me out then and they were convinced that I should stay and so I did hoping that maybe I am just a little to negative about the whole experience... I worked every summer and weekends and still managed to owe them $50k. I know it was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life but I am not cocky or arrogant like some people from that place are. So, whenever someone asks me where I went to school, I tell them that I went to school in Florida. Some people try to dig deeper and I tell them the truth... As soon as they hear ERAU they take cheap shots at me, sometimes lasting the entire 4 day trip. I know that some people from Riddle "suck" but I don't go around telling people how great I am, so why do people have the need to make me feel more regretful about attending Riddle than I feel already?

I can see where your coming from...I just started going to this flight school and everyone from private pilots to CFI's walk around the place like were in "Top Gun" training. I got tired of trying to be mr. nice guy and freindly. The expericece has opened my eyes and made me wonder what kind of arrogant jerks I may meet on the career path to the airlines. I worked at a class B airport for 5 years and it seems like the old timers that fly the heavies have alot more class and are alot more approachable.

Here's what's more important: what other aviation college charges nearly $13K a semester? Does the vaunted aero sci degree confer any advantage to remotely justify that cost? No.
