Summer Classes Continued

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Cherie

This is the fourth week of summer session A classes which means that its midterm time!! I personally have no idea when my midterm is as the class is going a bit slow but, I find that I am really enjoying Solid Mechanics. The only difficult part so far is Shear and Moment Diagrams. Any advice on those would be appreciated from out readers!!

A lot of other students had their first midterms last week so I really hope that mine will be soon. There is only one midterm for my class whereas some courses have three or four over summer, so the pressure on this one is high! However, I feel like I understand the material well, my professor is awesome 🙂

So I would like to give a shout out to all the summer class takers….you are all extremely brave for diving into a condensed six week class and also to all the summer professors, you guys rock!! Please comment below if you are among us and have a professor that you would like to acknowledge for their excellence. Thanks everyone and good luck on those midterms!!

For those incoming students just chillax a little longer and enjoy your well earned summer of fun!!

Summer Heat Wave

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Cherie

If you have been here in Embry Riddle Prescott in the last few days or you are heading here very soon be prepared for a heat wave!! The best way to handle the heat is to drink lots of ice water and stay in the shade. Try to work out in the early morning or after 8pm at night so you can avoid any heat related illnesses. The other option is to turn your workout into a nice swim at our saltwater pool on campus.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope that Embry Riddle is still apart of your summer plans, so stop on by and visit us today!

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 🙂

Summer Classes

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Cherie

We are now into the second week of summer classes here at Embry Riddle in Prescott AZ and so far they are going well!! I am taking solid Mechanics over summer, it is the last of my engineering fundamentals courses that I have to take before I move on to higher level courses 🙂

What classes are you taking this summer? Summer is a great time to catch up on courses or get ahead in your class work while saving some cash at the same time!! It is also easy to get a job over summer as a lot of seasonal positions open up right in May. We do have two summer sessions here at Embry Riddle in case you are interested in joining us for the second half of summer in our B session. Give us a call or start your application today, we would love to see you here!!

What are Your Plans for Next Year?

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Cherie

Its so weird to think that I will be going into my Junior year here at Embry Riddle and taking some of the upper level engineering courses. My year is pretty much all figured out but, what about yours? Do you have plans for college that include Embry Riddle?? I certainly hope so!! If you are a graduating high school senior congratulations!! We hope to see you here in the fall 🙂

If not perhaps you are going to do community college first and then transfer in, we welcome you here too!! It is our hope that Embry Riddle becomes your home away from home in this next year. If we are apart of your plans please comment below and let us know.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Posted on May 11, 2014 by Cherie

Happy Mother’s Day to all those Embry Riddle Moms out there!! Without your support a lot of students wouldn’t be here studying at Embry Riddle Prescott. Check out our bookstore for cool Embry Riddle gear that your mom will love, they would make a great late Mother’s day gift that any mom would love. Or stop on by Fry’s grocery store for specialty chocolates and flowers that she would love too. All in all, Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!!

PS….for those of you not home for Mother’s Day don’t forget to call home!!

AFROTC Update

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Cherie

As the end of the semester is near so is the end of my time at Embry Riddle as a GMC. I am very excited to be moving up in the world (i hope) and to complete our last lead lab of the semester! The last lead lab is always a parade for the change of command ceremony. If you have ever seen a change of command ceremony you know that it is pretty cool 🙂

If not, then you do not have to be in ROTC to participate, you can watch by the sidelines with the families of those who are assuming command of the cadet wing. For those of you who aren’t really interested in watching but, you want to know more about ROTC then check out this link here. We would love to talk to you about what ROTC is like and what it takes to be a cadet here at Embry Riddle. Maybe you (potential freshman) will be in my flight next year!!

Well, until next time…have an awesome weekend!!
