EXIT INTERVIEW RESULTS, DAYTONA BEACH & PRESCOTT CAMPUSES 2006-07 ACADEMIC YEAR Source: Office of Institutional Research, November 2007 Page 1 Students who visited the Student Success Center as part of their withdrawal process are asked to complete an Exit Interview Questionnaire. At the Daytona Beach campus, those who were withdrawn via Student Services were also asked to complete the survey. Results are presented below. Please note that respondents are those who have taken the initiative to inform the University that they are leaving. Students who stop-out or simply bypass the withdrawal process are not represented here. Please also note there are a higher proportion of new students responding to this survey than are in the actual student population, hence the results are more influenced by those perceptions. Two summary charts are displayed first, followed by detailed tables and open-ended comments.

Daytona as a whole is too boring a place to be, balance has to exist. ¾ I need to find my correct path ¾ ERAU is a great school. It is a bit expensive & the food is awful but the overall quality of the school is great. I enjoyed my semester @ ERAU ¾ College is interested in making money. On internet it says college receive $100 million or some from govt than how come I only got 2000 financial Aid. My family makes what is my tuition fee at ERAU. Flying fees are on top of that. Need to make changes in ¾ not a lot of females. not a lot of activities for a social life. Costly. The construction occurring is annoying. ¾ My level of interest/passion for aerospace engineering is less than expected. The time/effort/expense to graduate from ERAU is not worth it. ¾ education is fine, social life is terrible ¾ Can take larger class load back home to catch up and fit in flight time. ¾ Decided that I didn't want to fly professionally anymore. ¾ financially unstable at the moment ¾ I could not find anyone to co-sign my loan for this term ¾ Academic Advisor was very helpful in helping me resolve conflicts at the university. University doesn’t deal w/ students the same as parents even if it's the student's cash flow. Better opportunities elsewhere. ¾ Great school, just not for me ¾ Food - EXTREMELY GREASY ! ¾ I am leaving because of major financial reasons. Can't afford the cost of ERAU. Thanks for a good year ¾ I expected experienced pilots would be instructing me, not ones that are still in college and have no airline experience. After I failed my first check ride, it felt like the flight department wanted to push me out the door. ¾ Just change of interest ¾ Price, miss home ¾ Changing majors ¾ Lack of school spirit and atmosphere felt like I was going to work by coming to school. Sophomore ¾ The cost is ridiculous if you don’t have assistance from parents + drive a BMW ¾ Instruction is not worth the price ¾ I had a baby. ¾ Administrative withdrawal by Finance office ¾ Administration, particularly Student Accounting has horrible service & attitudes! I felt highly disrespected by entire college life at ERAU. Particularly {Employee X} in the Student Accounting department told me my "mother didn't care about me"! - she is extreme ¾ Change of interest. Decided I didn't want to fly for a job. ¾ I love the people here, be it students/employees, and the campus is beautiful (although a bit pricey.) I just feel that I need to do something that isn't what my parents want, it's what I want. ¾ Education without worth ¾ career change ¾ Private loans denied both with and without co-borrower. VA office did not submit my GI bill in reasonable amount of time, although I completed and submitted it on time to them. Tuition Ass. For MIL not processed due to the time I was allowed to register. ¾ Too expensive ¾ Lost AF scholarship due to medical reasons EXIT INTERVIEW RESULTS, DAYTONA BEACH & PRESCOTT CAMPUSES 2006-07 ACADEMIC YEAR Source: Office of Institutional Research, November 2007 Page 17 Junior ¾ Mainly medical - experiencing high blood pressure which is causing other symptoms which appear off and on ¾ Complex medical issue which must be resolved before continuing my degree program. Will hopefully come back after it is resolved. ¾ The Math Department is great. I decided to get a BS Mathematics/MS Applied Math and statistics at Florida Atlantic University.
