My daughter graduated from Norwich 2020 and my son is currently attending. I can put you in touch with him if you have specific questions. We’re South Carolina residents and he can tell you why he chose Norwich over Citadel.
Both my kids love Norwich. My son is an outdoors guy and Norwich has a mountain on campus with all sorts of free activities for students, like paintball, mountain biking, etc. Norwich has the land on campus for ROTC training and great mil lab equipment, including the cyber war room. All the buildings have been renovated on the inside, and my son’s barrack room on the top floor has the most gorgeous view of the Green Mountains. My son claims the cooler climate is actually advantageous to him for PT and FTXs. Winter PT also can be done inside in the field house. The school is a tight knit family. Two years ago a holiday break storm rolled in the Northeast stranding Norwich students at various airports and a legion of parents and alums mobilized ASAP to help. And nothing like a packed Norwich hockey game with the crowd going wild (Norwich hockey teams are always nationally ranked.) School cons: chow hall food not superlative, but lovely dining hall with fireplaces does help a little, lol.
The school will offer you a scholarship based on your high school gpa, then you will most likely also receive a grant to help match the tuition of other university options. (See webpage under affordability.) This grant will be sent in a separate letter. You can also add on other easy smaller scholarships, like a virtual visit award, take the lead award, STEM major award, etc (see webpage for list). My son, who is a B student, ended up with a very impressive amount of scholarships/grants.
