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!!

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!

Finals Week

Posted on April 27, 2014 by Cherie

A lot of students ask what the campus does to help students as they study for finals week. Well, we offer finals breakfast at 11pm on the night before study day, free cookies in the library, 24 hour quiet hours in the halls, and often professors have study sessions before their exams. No matter how you choose to prepare for finals (which officially started on Saturday by the way..) the campus can help you!

Some awesome study tips are get enough sleep, eat a well balanced meal, and calmly review notes, old hw’s, and whatever else you have that will help you review. So with that said, I’m off to study as well 🙂 Happy finals everyone, remember that summer is almost here!!

FTP Starts Now!!

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Cherie

If you join Air Force ROTC at Embry Riddle and you decide to continue in the program to become an Officer in the Air Force then you will go through Field Training Preparation (FTP) during the spring semester of your sophomore year. FTP, is exactly what it means, training to succeed in field training. It lasts the entire Spring semester and like other Air Force ROTC activities it runs concurrently with your schooling.

The overall goal of both FTP and Field Training is to mold you into an Officer of the United States Air Force. As I am now a sophomore it is my turn to go through FTP and Field Training. I am very excited to see what this new section of Air Force ROTC holds for me and I am also eager to attend Field Training as this will get me one step closer to my dream. I will let our reader’s know from time to time how things are going but, for now, I’m looking forward to the future and its challenges! Wish me luck!!
