Good luck! You will do great! Just remember, it is not a matter of "working smarter, not harder." Rather, work smarter AND harder. You can never do too much to succeed in your academics--go to class (you won't have a choice), take notes in a manner that is most effective for you, go to your...

Oh, I didn't think it was a criticism at all...I was only providing the back story that further supported what you posted. You were spot-on. I think we are actually in violent agreement. That's all I intended by my posting. My apologies if I gave any impression otherwise; if so, it was not...

I agree with Usnavy2019...I am a Norwich grad and it, more than anything (except my parents and grandparents), made me who I am. I gave some thought of applying to USAFA after my first year at Norwich, but ended up staying and am glad I did. My first assignment after graduating from Norwich...

One particular strength of ALL the SMCs is their alumni network (Citadel, Norwich, VMI, TAMU, in particular). Part and parcel to this strength is the exceptionally robust record of alumni giving to their alma mater that tends to accompany the virility of those alumni networks. Basically, SMC...

BLUF: Great response. Yes, these are both great schools, I completely agree. The most important part is in the final paragraph. Ok, none of what I am about to say has any bearing on much, but being into enrollment figures as a sort of professional hobby (I'm the president of a public...

I'm former USAFA DFPS (Poli Sci) faculty and DFPS AIC (and a current college president--doesn't mean much, but appropriately returns to my discussion later, simply a cranium's-up), and former intel officer (SQ/DO, Dir. of Intel, Joint Staff, Congressional Staff, etc.). So, here is my 15-cents...

You're welcome. Good luck!

I'll add a few brief comments that may be of value in facing this happy dilemma--if these are off the mark, my apologies. Full disclosure, I am Norwich grad...but I will do my best to remain objective. So, which school will provide greater benefit? It depends when you ask and the metric you...

Congrats on deciding to attend Norwich...you will find it to be a real challenge. I remember in the months before I started at Norwich I was fairly confident I-- 1) knew what I was getting into; and 2) was well prepared to succeed as a Cadet, academically and militarily. My confidence was...

You're welcome! I hope it helps. Major will not have a great deal of influence on AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code--career field), unless she wants to do something highly technical, like developmental engineering. Honestly, the best bet is to major in something you enjoy and a field in which...

That's great news for your DD! I am sure she will excel. Has she chosen a major? I was on the faculty at USAFA and can reliably say they have a phenomenal faculty. One of the things all the academies excel at is teaching their faculty to actually teach. I know this seems somewhat...

I can speak to my personal experience as a Norwich grad--both as a Cadet and now 20-year alum. The basic answer is that Cadet life, whether at Norwich or any similar institution, is spartan and challenging. And that is what the design of such institutions demands. It is no-fun at the time as...

New here, but as a current college president I have learned the best college for any student is the one that "feels" right. You have to be able to imagine yourself being comfortable at the school you have chosen. And, yes, before you have actually been a student/cadet at a particular school...

I'm a Norwich grad, a former USAFA professor, and current college president.
