<p>I am a HS Senior, with ERAU as my first choice school. I am hoping to receive the NROTC scholarship, and I am in applications for the Naval Academy and UF/Santa Fe. I’ve visted the campus and stayed at the dorms, and want to create a thread for the students interested in/accepted/attending in the Fall 2013 term.</p>
<p>I’ll be attending the Open House on Oct 27th, almost solely to see all the dorms. Here is my pro/cons</p>
<p>McKay:
- closest to classes
- one bathroom per room
- relatively far to closest dining
- not in the best shape</p>
<p>Doolittle:
- close to fitness center/pool
- “traditional” university dorm
- From what I’ve heard (I know a few current students), most social & fun
- only con is that my boyfriend of two years (will be a sophomore) will most likely go off campus if I go here</p>
<p>Adam/Wood:
- condition of dorms
- I like the student village (views, environment)
- closest to rotc
- Buffet eatery and Einstein’s bagels within village, and since I will be on meal plan, this is a huge plus
- My boyfriend will stay in either of the upperclassmen dorms, so we’ll both be in student village (he has a car and I don’t, so being walking distance apart will be a nice change from 2 and half hours apart)
- farthest from classes</p>
<p>With a 3.4 GPA, 1990 SAT (1340 M + CR), and several extra curriculars, AP’s, leadership, I know I have a good chance of getting accepted, and the financial aid calculator approximated my merit scholarship to be about $5000. My Boyfriend had a 3.9, barely lower SAT, 9 APs, and no EC, and was offered $11000. After all the financial aid package, he ended up with about $10000 in student loans, and he is currently a college programmer NROTC midshipman.</p>
<p>I originally considered Embry-Riddle a back up to Annapolis and UF/Santa Fe (I’m currently ten minutes from the campus), but after visiting, I realized that the new buildings, true Florida weather, and small classes taught by actual teachers was a better environment for me. Also, the Aerospace Engineering program and NROTC program are both highly regarded. </p>
