Hey all,
Embry Riddle v. Purdue. I will not be going to either school with the scholarship, but have been in contact with both NROTC units and it looks pretty good for the College Program with the hope of a scholarship later.
I want to go either school for professional flight. On one hand, Embry Riddle will cost about $50,000 a year. I'm not sure about the cost of Purdue yet. Also, Embry Riddle's NROTC unit is very large, and I've heard negative things because of that.
I also have researched and found that many Embry Riddle students are unhappy there and eventually transfer out. Purdue students for the most part seem to be very satisfied with the school. With all of these negatives about Embry Riddle I would probably just go to Purdue.
BUT, Embry Riddle is one of the most respected aviation schools in the country. However, Purdue is a very well respected school in the field as well. With the hopes of being a Navy pilot, would Purdue look worse than Embry Riddle come selection time? Would it be better just to go to Purdue and save a few bucks? Help would be appreciated.
Sorry the thread is so long.
Thanks.
