Embry-Riddle takes great pride in providing excellent service to all students. Services vary from activities around campus to healthcare, student employment, and much more. The smaller campus size lends the opportunity to provide a very personal approach to each and every student. Faculty and staff go the extra mile to make each student feel at home and as comfortable as possible.

In addition the student has access to free tutoring and academic advising.

Embry-Riddle has a very active Student Government Association (SGA), a student governing resource for voicing concerns and suggesting and facilitating improvement to the university. All students are encouraged to participate in the many clubs and organizations on campus to make their learning and living experience at Embry-Riddle even more complete.
