Biggest biggest difference between Norwich and the Citadel. Culture
The North is very different from the South, whether you wan to admit it. We are all Americans but very different. All you have to do is look at all the picture and monuments on both campuses.
Leaving the Texas and getting an education in a "Yankee" SMC has been a great life experience for our DS. Texans really do think the world revovles around us. Attending El Cid would of been good, Southern school, southern conservative values, and a hell of alot easier on transportation.
Spending 4 years up North is priceless, the Norwich FA helped too. Lessons learned there that will carry him throughout his Army career and corporate career.
My 2 cents.
