Things to do Over Summer in Prescott AZ

Posted on May 26, 2014 by Cherie

When you don’t have a vehicle on campus it can get pretty boring after hours during the summer soooo find a friend with a car and check out Prescott or take a hike!! There are so many things you can do in Prescott for example……

The Dells are a beautiful rock formation next to Willow Lake just across from campus and they are a great place to hike, rock climb, canoe, have a picnic, ride a bike, run etc.

You can always go take a walk around Lynx Lake or have a picnic. There is a great little place up by the lake that has a fish fry deal on Friday nights, and man is it good!!!!

The Grand Canyon is not too far away and the drive is gorgeous!

The mall in town is fantastic and has all the big brand stores that we all love, that’s a great place to hang out and even get some food.

If you can’t get off campus then there’s also the Student Union which has all the latest video games, pool tables, shuffleboard, Foosball, and computer games as well!

The overall point is that there is a lot to do here in Prescott AZ, don’t be a stranger get involved in the community after all, you will want to know the town you may be living in for the next few years! It’s really a cooler place than you might realize at first 🙂

The Air Force ROTC detachment 028 at Embry Riddle in Prescott AZ is proud to be sending off our first round of potential POC cadets to Field Training in the next few days!! They will be the first of several groups who will depart their homes in order to complete one of the largest requirements that cadets must meet before they have the privilege to commission in to the world’s best Air Force.

I will be headed to Field Training as well alter in the summer and I am very excited to have this opportunity that I have worked hard to achieve in my past two years here at Embry Riddle.

New LED Lights

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Cherie

A few of the parking lots on campus are currently closed for the upgrading of lights that will increase visibility in the parking lots at night. If you have a vehicle parked for summer please refer to the email sent out by campus authorities to find out if your vehicle needs to be moved. Hopefully, thats not the case 🙂 Below is a picture of what our new led lights look like. They are a lot more efficient and much brighter than the old ones.

Just something to look forward to when you get back here on campus for fall, and if it will be your first time here at Riddle then we welcome you to a brighter place!!

It is also easy to get a job over summer as a lot of seasonal positions open up right in May.

Give us a call or start your application today, we would love to see you here!!

Summer School in Prescott

Posted on May 3, 2014 by Adam

Done with Finals! and ready for summer. I cannot get enough of the sun and I love the summer. Although I like to stay busy with work, taking one or two summer classes can be useful. Whether you are trying to get ahead or catch up on classes its a great opportunity.

The first thing you might consider summer classes for is graduation, are you on track to graduate on time? If not then I suggest summer classes. If it is a core class you need then I highly suggest taking it at the university you are attending to stay on course. This can also be a great way to get ahead so your future semesters aren’t as heavily weighted on credits. But in the end, if you want to save yourself a semester, a $3,500 summer semester is much cheaper then a $15,000 semester. You could save yourself lots of money at the same time.

With some misconception, some may think that summer school will take away from all those fun summer activities. Not completely true, taking only one class can keep you busy enough from getting waayyy to bored.

At Embry-Riddle many summer classes are available over the course of two summer main sessions, summer a and summer b. ERAU Prescott offers almost anything you may need. Thanks for reading, good luck with finals and have a great summer.

Summer Pool Days

Posted on May 2, 2014 by Cherie

Now that most of the finals are done we can all focus on that rad summer tan!! Go hang out by the Embry Riddle Prescott salt water pool and have a little fun in the sun. If you are still in need of a swimsuit walmart actually has some good ones, target too, it all depends on the style you want 🙂 Swim suits are kind of a big deal in girl world, for those who don’t know it yet hahaha. I found a really pretty purple one with constellations all over it so if you happen to stop by the pool you may see me there. I know after finals that’s the first place I will be going!!!

What is the first thing you will do when your finals are finished? I know all the graduating seniors will be celebrating with their families but, what about us who aren’t quite there yet? Please comment below and let us know, we would love to hear from current and potential students! Have a great summer everyone!
