After adjusting to the new lifestyle (both the Corps of Cadets and the whole college life) I settled into my classes and found whole new sections of math and science to explore. New theories and rules keep coming as I go on in my classwork. I'm learning a lot, and sometimes it is stressful, but so interesting and exciting at the same time. And I've only just finished my freshmen year.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
As a Cadet in the Corps, I live an extremely unique life at school here. One-tenth of one percent is a saying I heard a lot my first few weeks. Very few students live like I do, and even fewer enjoy the close bonds that living in the Corps creates. I know my Rook Brothers and Sisters at school better than I know some of my family back home. The constant challenge to push yourself harder and further is in every aspect of the school; academics, Physical Training, extracurricular activities, and so on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Norwich has an excellent reputation with the Armed Forces and with many businesses across the country, many of my friends from school found summer employment easily from Norwich alumni or from people who know Norwich's reputation. We're looked at with greater respect for the most part than more recognizable schools like Westpoint.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be stubborn, and refuse to give up. Especially for those of you looking at the Corps. It's tough and there are many mental games played, but if you manage to make it through all of the challenges, the feeling of accomplishment is the greatest thing this school has given me so far. Work hard an you'll go far.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Many of the classes are team-oriented, and have students working together on projects a lot of the time. If you work well in a team you'll go far at Norwich University.
