do naval academy. when you're trying to balance out schoolwork and waking up at 5am in the morning, naval academy makes much more sense. for one professors at regular university couldn't give a rat's ass about your rotc commitments. as a math and premed major, my next semester includes 2 4 hours labs a week for orgo and physics as well as at least 3 hours every week dedicated just to MS class as well as squad meetings for ROTC labs. Neither my professor or sergeant could care about the other lab which makes scheduling for a lack of a better word a complete ***** especially since pick times for schedules are random.
Although I've never attended a single academy, from what I've heard the training is summer heavy and academic year light. You might still have some commitments but from what I've read professors at academies actually have the mindset of military first, civilian academics second (obviously since of priorities of cadets). That means that often times 4 hours labs may be truncated to 2 hour labs which are a real help. You also realize that coming out of the Naval Academy almost guarantees you a spot in any Ivy League school for grad school (as long as you work for it of course).
tl;dr go to the naval academy.
