Hey. I have a few more questions/ comments concerning Norwich University, so this might some what of a long post. Are there any cadets (past or present) that have attended Norwich University, or that are attending now? If so, could you explain your experience as a Norwich cadet if you wouldn't mind? From the research I've done, Norwich seems like a great college. So far, I am very impressed with the disciplined asmosphere they portray at their school. However, that is only from looking at the website, reading about them, and watching videos about the programs Norwich offers, never acually visiting the school itself (though I will be doing so soon).
I have heard that some people say that Norwich is a second rate college (quite frankly, I disagree with them), but I still need to take that into account when looking around at colleges. I have also heard others that say it is a great college and that the cadets are very focused on what they do. I know there are many traditions at Norwich and would love to hear about them.
I really would love to have a career in the military. I guess my biggest question is: Will Norwich prepare me for a future in the military, through its academics and a disiplined, well rounded, military program? In essence, years after graduation, I want to be able to say: "Wow, Norwich University prepared me take on a job in the military, and taught me to embrace the warrior ethos that I now live by, as well as gave me the tools I need, to be a smart, well educated, 2nd Lieutenant." Could Norwich do that for me. Have your experiences at Norwich taught you those things?
I love the military atmosphere as well, the yelling "yes sir!" and "no sir!", the drilling and the marching, and the comaraderie. Do you think Norwich could offer that to me as well? I want to have a good experience, but at the same time, a disiplined, drilled, and well thought out plan for my future as a military officer. I know I, (along with the guidence of God), are making the disicion of whether or not I go to Norwich, but I would really appreciate any responses. Thank you very much for your time. (I hope I didn't ask to many questions.)
