Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach Top Questions

The overall stereotype of ERAU students is that they are all rich kids. This is due to the fact that the school is so expensive, and the rumor is partly true. For instance, I know of students who take trips every weekend (even to other countries) and who drive cars that are worth more than $50,000. However, I also know of students who don't even own a car because they cannot afford it. The school may be expensive, but some people get around that by athletic scholarships, ROTC scholarships, GI Bills, or just by trying to get enough scholarships and loans to pay for it. The richer students are able to go through every semester and not even worry about the money. It is a very wide range of financial class at ERAU. Another prominent stereotype is that the students, particularly the engineers, are very lacking in social skills. This kind of stereotype arises at any engineering school, but I think one of the things that compound it at ERAU is the small percentage of girls, although the percentage is rising slowly with every semester.
