Review of Norwich University

Describe your college in three sentences.

Norwich University is a small, beautiful, historical campus split down the center: One half is civilian, the other is the corps of cadets. The classes are small with about 20 students and the work is challenging, but very rewarding. The University has a large price tag, but a lot of benefits accompany it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get your finances set asap! It's much easier to deal with issues when you're not in a time crunch!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The academics are difficult, but there are many places for support including the AAC. Plus, the professors are always willing to help and know the students by name!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The barracks are renovated regularly, and the civilian dorm is brand new. There are always things going on around campus, but it is secluded enough to allow students to concentrate on academics!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The chow hall as we call it is the nicest I've seen for a school of this size.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are many sports to participate in (or observe), many clubs, fun events held by them, and movies on campus every Friday and Saturday.

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

It's just below $50,000 to attend Norwich, but the alumni are great when it comes to helping out graduates find jobs!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Rooks, or unrecognized cadets have to walk in the gutter everywhere they go! It's fun to see them progress throughout the year!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Norwich is great for those interested in the military, or the military lifestyle. If you want to participate, join the corps! If you just want to sit back and observe, join the civilian side. Either way, you'll experience it!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many options for anybody, especially for such a small campus!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

This campus is so safe. There are always RA's and First Sergeants (basically the same thing for each lifestyle) running around, and NU Security is all over the place.
