Question
Greetings,

My son is a high school senior and is considering a career in aeronautical. He's undecided between becoming a pilot and aeronautical engineering. He's been accepted and strongly considering attending Embry-Riddle in Fl, however, I'd like guidance in this matter. He's opting for this school because there he has the option of both engineering and piloting. What do you think???? Please guide us.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Evelyn,
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University is THE BEST aviation college with highest quality for money invested. I am not saying this because I am an B.S. graduate from ERAU and an Master graduate soon, but because the fact that ERAU has been known through the industry for a long time. Another thing is that ERAU Fl, has all programs that an young person can imagine in aviation. Pilot training is also incorporated with additional cost for pilot training, college classes run seperate from pilot training but at the same center in FL. It is probably only college that has incorporated pilot training with college classes at the same campus facility.

Again Evelyn, this is not an commercial promotion of ERAU, and I am not payed by ERAU, but this is really an honest opinion for an professional education institution.

Best
Ismar
