Review of Virginia Military Institute

from Newland, NC

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This school is definitely one of a kind. The Ratline that all freshmen must experience is the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is so rewarding one you get through it. It teaches you the important lessons that are so vital to a successful career in the real world, such as time management, self-confidence, discipline and responsibility.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

This is a difficult time for anyone going through the Ratline, but in the end it is worth all of the hard work and sacrifice.

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

The lessons one learns at VMI are lessons that are quite rare in today's society. Although it is tough and requires alot of sacrifice, every ounce of effort is worth the outcome of becoming a VMI graduate.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Anything worth having requires sacrifice and hard work. But you can not lose your sense of humor in the process. Learning to cope with stressful situations is much easier when you can find the humor in them.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who want to become the best person they can possibly be and want to get the most out of life. Although VMI is a small school, there are so many opportunities available for anyone who attends. It requires motivation, perseverance, and dedication, but anyone can do much more than they thought they ever could, and VMI proves that to you.
