Just curious. Anyone go to Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach? I got accepted there(it was my second choice) and rejected from my first choice so it looks like I might be heading down south for school. Anyone go to this school? I wanna learn a little more about the area, things to do and how the school is in general. Anyone?

I work about 5 miles from there. I live in Sanford.

I can tell you this, if you are not living in the dorms, consider moving somewhere outside of daytona.

Race week
Bike week
BCR
Biketoberfest
Spring Break
and many more events tend to make traffic and going out places a _____

hmmm. I'd definitely be dorming there. I just wanna know what to expect from there. how the dorms are, whats there to do. stuff like that.

The good news is that you are near the beach, since you can't really drink legally.... the bars on the beach might not work out. Orlando is only 40 minutes away. There is a little bit of everything. I'm sure being on campus, there will be a lot of people doing things. Like I said, I only work in Daytona but i live on the northern edge of Orlando, so i don't get to play much in the area.

I'm sure age really isn't that big of a factor when drinking is involved around a college campus.

^^ Thats why he said legally lol. I don't really drink anyway. I hate the whole drink to get drunk thing goin around. . I'm more interested in knowing people when I get there and what goes on around campus.

SickleCell

several car clubs in the area too. Lots of activities, lots of shows, and meets.

I'd probably be taking my car down there with me. Is there a strip near by? Always wanted to hit the drag strip but the closest one to my house is a good hour and a half away.

SickleCell

It's probably the same distance from daytona as it is for you up there.

tclicious

hehe... i go to Embry Riddle.

a_german_named_hans

^^ how is it? Anything you can tell me about it. I'm actually going down to visit this weekend. They got the preview week goin on.

tclicious

Its a really nice school. fine programs, very serious. the best i've ever gone to. the area...most likely the beach, movies, mall, clubs, girls, etc...

a_german_named_hans

Whats the job situation down there? was hoping to get the tC boosted while down there :D . Also are Freshmen allowed to have cars on campus? A buddy of mine goes to FIT and he's allowed, Embry Riddle give passes to freshmen?

Angie07tx

You can join Daytona Scikotics!!!!!

a_german_named_hans

^^ definitely. If I bring my car down with me I definitely would.

draxcaliber

i have an old friend down there who is an instructor down there now, he loves flying.

a_german_named_hans

^^ I do too. Got a couple hours under my belt. Becoming a pilot was actually my life goal for many many years of my life(as short as my life has been so far). But its just such a hard job to land so I decided to mix my love for airplanes and my love for physics together. So i decided to major in Aeronautical Engineering.

a_german_named_hans

Wow Old topic but I'll bring it back to life. Goin to riddle now, Steve. I think i seen your car around campus a few times. Do you work at a car wash?

tclicious

haha indeed.....I'm not there at the wash anymore, they screwed me over. but i still do detailing on the side. Yea, i think i've seen you too....theres a lot of custom Tc's out there' well at least the wheels portion. i just traded my kami kit yesterday for stock, im trading my car.

a_german_named_hans

Oh yeah? I was gonna trade my car in too but I'm thinkin about goin to NZ during the fall semester so it would be kinda stupid to get a new car right now that would be just sitting in my driveway for 6 months so decided not to.
