I would rate this institution a B+. The atmosphere is great, the friendship forged here are amazing and the level of intelligence among the midshipmen is incredible at times. The only problem I have with this place is the greatly varied and sometimes flawed leadership within the company and above. Your Company Officer and Upper-class really play a major role in the environment.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do a visit, go to summer seminar. Look at videos and ask people who go there. Realize that your life will suck the first year and that it gets better. DO NOT lie, cheat or steal. Don't rate what you don't skate.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some the the hardest classes I have ever taken. Statics, Physics II, etc. I skated by with almost a 4.0 in high school and have never studied harder in my life to get a B in a class. The academics are hard because of the lack of time you have with all of the military obligations etc.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The rooms are probably the smallest compared to anywhere else but everything you get to put them in is free. The dorms are paid by the school which pays you to be there. With the amount of stuff you can actually have in there, the rooms are pretty efficiently sized.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
King Hall is really a hit or mix. The food can be amazing on Pizza nights or crappy on Asian food nights. Steerage is great if you are allowed to go. Ordering out is very popular but gets kind of expensive.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Read a book, do your hw or join a varsity team. You cannot leave unless you are a 2nd class/firstie or a junior/senior and even then on certain days. Might as well get an XBOX or some friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You get paid to come here and its a free education!! (minus the fact that you are giving up 5+ years or your life).
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Too many traditions to count. Army Navy stuff, Parades, Airforce and Army Navy week. It gets pretty crazy around here. Halloween is a great time.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who love the military, have great leadership personalities, are good athletes. Intelligent and hard working people.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Every sport you can think of and any club. You can make your own if you find the interest.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Police inside as well as task force. Its the United States Naval Academy aka a military college. It's what you would think. Nothing crazy though.
