How to Make the Most of Your Tour to the Daytona Beach Campus
If you are considering becoming an Eagle, the best way to make your decision is to take a trip to Embry-Riddle’s residential campus in Daytona Beach, Florida. Campus tours are available Monday through Friday in the spring and fall and start at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The best time to visit is during the school year when classes are in session.
Visits include a tour of the residence hall and the impressive Mori Hosseini Student Union, home to several eateries, student organizations and the Hunt Memorial Library. Visitors can customize their tour based on interest in a specific degree program or area of study.
“We suggest that students set aside at least three hours to tour the campus, but the more time they can allot the better,” said Gabrielle Sergent, assistant director of the campus experience. “There’s so much to see and do that you could easily spend a whole day here.”
Customize your tour
You have the option to choose the academic tour that best matches your interests. An engineering and technology tour allows visitors to explore Embry-Riddle’s top-notch engineering labs at Lehman Building of Engineering and Technology. Other areas you can tour include the David B. O'Maley College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Aviation and Aviation Maintenance Sciences. If you’re interested in ROTC, options to learn more are included on the Visit Campus page.
Take time to connect
Tours are student-led so visitors can connect with those with who know the campus best. Tour guides can share personal knowledge of the majors, the faculty, clubs and organizations, living on campus and the local area, all from a student perspective. “Take any opportunity you can to have a well-rounded experience,” said Embry-Riddle senior Kristen Chadwell. “There are so many great clubs and activities on campus that can help prepare you for life after college.”
If your schedule allows, consider attending a game to support the Eagles Athletics teams, enjoy fun activities around town, or explore Orlando's popular attractions only an hour away.
Get your questions answered
Take time to get any questions answered about the admissions process, program requirements, financial aid and scholarships. You will have the opportunity to meet with admissions staff to get detailed information about their academic opportunities. “It’s never too early to visit or start meeting with admissions,” said Katelin Comer, Embry-Riddle admissions visit office counselor for the Daytona campus. “We have such great faculty and passion on campus that everyone gets to experience this first-hand when they come.”
During Preview Day in the spring, accepted students can experience student life first hand; during Open House in the fall, high school students have the opportunity to tour campus.
