    Citadel Questions

    Hey there. My son is a knob at the Citadel. I highly recommend the pre-knob visit. My son did not have to do PT during his visit. He stayed the night with a knob with the same major (Mechanical Engineering). He said he found it very beneficial to get the up close and personal view...
