Hi everyone. If anyone has any insights/thoughts on the NROTC unit at MIT, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I can't directly speak to the unit itself, though a shipmate a long time back commissioned from there and had good things to say about it.

In the end, I encourage most NROTC applicants to prioritize the school first and foremost. Units change with leadership and fluctuate more easily than the school itself. In this case we're discussing MIT, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, so if you're accepted to MIT and NROTC there, I'd do it in a heartbeat, even if you were to hear the unit is struggling for some reason.

Recommend to use the search function as I do think there are some older threads on this. Just remember that leadership changes every 2-3 years at units and that can greatly affect things.

My daughter did MIT AFROTC and they did things with NROTC. She always had good words to say. Plus, it is MIT, and you would be going to college in Boston! You don't say no to schools like MIT

We just did a visit with the 365TH AF ROTC Detachment at MIT for my youngest son. Nice building with all 3 ROTC groups in it and they seem to work together. Hope that football coach likes my kid, that is one hard school to get admitted to!

My DS doing AFROTC at Boston University, Yes! Boston is an awesome city for college, my younger one looking at NROTC at Upenn, but Philly is no Boston.

My son was doing AFROTC at BU and overlapped with my daughter at MIT. That was such fun, I miss visiting there.
