Prescott...

drummerpilot311 · April 18th, 2006, 19:06

Anyone on here that has graduated or is currently attending ERAU PR? I'm trying to compare both campuses and other schools right now. I'd just need to ask a few questions...

I was there, so was Doug. There is probably less to do in PRC than in Florida but I don't think I've ever partied like I did at ERAU. It boils down to if you like Mountains and the west, you'll like PRC. I pretty much hate Florida and live in Spokane, so it was an easy choice.

Thanks, that actually answered most of my questions. I was really wondering if it was a satisfying experience. If I had a choice between both campuses I would probably choose PRC just because 1)Yes I prefer mountains (change from what I'm used to & I vacation out west almost every summer, GC every other year and LA too) 2) I'm not quite sure about this but- I think I would do better in a smaller, concentrated place. So, Prescott sounds right for me?
Since the family heads out to the west just about every summer, I'm bound to stop by Grand Canyon/Prescott in the next two years and I'll be sure not to miss it.

Prescott is a nice place. I think I hated it a bit when I was there but that was the 20 year old in me. Looking back on it, PRC's a great town and wouldn't be a bad place to live at all. It's gotten a lot bigger but it's a really beautiful place with a great climate.

I am at Prescott now so Im going to give it to you straight up.

There are ALOT of old folks, white trash, rednecks, here. Alot are rude and have no manners (and Im from NY). No one here knows how to drive, they love to just hand out in the left lanes. Its boring here, nothing to do really unless you like the outdoors. Save up your gas money cause youll be making the hour and a half drive to PHX alot. The flying conditions are great. Campus food blows. Its hard to get anything done with the Riddle administrators, they just run you around all day. Oh yeah no Girls and the ones that are in town all have kids. DAB has much more Degrees offered, and were supposed to be one big happy university...lol. Well thats my rant for right now.

Maybe the two campuses aren't as different as people think....

Well from what I hear it is $94 an hr at DB and $128 at PR...little more expensive.

I assum your talking about 172s. I dont know about Riddle but the other flight school is charging $135 plus a $10 fuel surcharge.

I didn't really care for Prescott (the town) so much when I came to visit ERAU.
