I'm looking for bias. I want the opinions of people with personal knowledge of my schools, so thanks! "The engineering program there is intense." I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most engineering programs are intense, especially for aerospace. I just visited Penn State, and the Aero students I talked to said the they were doing work about 7 hours/day. "It's like a full-time job" was something they said. "I looked forward to the weekend because it meant that I could park closer to the library. :)" Well, that may be a bit much. How much time did you spend there? I like to read/study/etc., but I don't want to spend every weekend at the library. "The entire school only focuses on aviation, which is a double-edged sword." Good point. "while ERAU is well-known and highly regarded within the industry" So, that's a good thing. But are there other schools which are also highly regarded? Does an undergrad degree from ERAU make things easier to compete for, as opposed to degrees from other universities? And what is the allumni association like? I know that PSU is a HUGE alumni school. Because ERAU is small, are there less people in the field? "'No, not Emory, Embry-Riddle...'" Close enough. The problem I have with all those schools is four-fold: One, it's in Canada, and I live in PA. Two, it gets COLD up there! Three: I can't visit them this summer, and Four: I want to make my list smaller, not bigger.
