I feel Stanford University is also one of the best to start up with your Aerospace Engineering.
 
  • #36
so I'm pretty much set on aerospace engineering but i want to find a really good school that has a decent mens swim team or h2o polo team. Nothing like michigan or anything like that i just want to do something for fun does embry riddle have any aquatics clubs?
