Jaime's Review

Review of Norwich University

from Jacksonville, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am a Criminal Justice major and as I am attending this school in all the clubs and in the life of the Corps of Cadets I learn many things. I have learned some of the ways military life will be like. Also, in my major I learn many ways on how the law works. In the HITS club I have learned how to act and/or react to situation both in the military and as a police officer.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy being here because the this place has a sense of pride and tradition. Here I feel as a member of something bigger than a student in this university. Even the small town outside of the university supports us and in return when have supported them. Recently after Hurricane Irene hit, the school together voluntarily went out on their free time to help those whose houses were damaged. Our Mountain Cold Weather Rescue Team was deployed all around the state to help out flooded victims.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The cost may be a bit high but in the end so far I have seen has paid off. Many students that graduate I've seen have gone on and become great in their field or profession. Also in most of New England people would respect you if you caught with anything with a Norwich emblem or the class ring. Even around the country many people have either graduated from or attended Norwich in the past years. For me it is amazing to see so many people in the states as well as the world to have the Norwich spirit. Here you are not alone at all.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you plan on coming to this university as a member of the Corp of Cadets then do not plan on life being easy the first year. It is a big leap from being a normal student to being in the corps, but come here with strong determination. Also keep in mind our motto I Will Try

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great place for students who are looking for a career in the military and/or law enforcement, those who expect a challenge, those that are determined, those that work hard and those that are willing to push forward against many hard times.
