Ok, risking creating a zombie thread, I'll chime in. Riddle is a good school in the sense that you can get a job in the aviation industry, even a non-flying one. I'm in the aviation insurance industry and about half of my company is from a Riddle campus, all pilots. At least in America, the name does open doors.

The main issue will be debt. If you can afford it, then go for it. If you do not want to pay off your student loan for the next 15 + years, do not go there. Everyone I know from Riddle has a career in aviation, flying or otherwise, but they all graduated with 100k plus debt. The ones that had rich parents who paid it off for them are doing well, since they have good careers in aviation and no debt. The ones that do not have rich parents are seeing a big chunk of their salaries go to loan payments and complain about it EVERY DAY. So, choose wisely.
