He absolutely LOVED it!!! It is his solid first choice. We were bummed that the parade was canceled, but fingers crossed we will see it with him in it!!!!
Still needs his physical, which we will try to get this done next week. Then there is the financial end. If he wins an AROTC scholarship, it is doable. If not, I'm not sure how we can swing it. Out of state tuition is steep.
I love the structure, small class sizes, that the instructors all have PHD's, that they are all accessible. Love the Dyke system, that there will be someone watching out for my Rat. I like the guards on duty in the barracks. The formation and march to breakfast was really neat to watch as well.
The Civil Engineering dept head is hysterical!
All of the parents that were there to answer our questions were wonderful, welcoming and very helpful.
Everyone was so friendly. Very much unlike the Citadel wrestling coach my son tried to talk to at the hotel ( they were there for a competition, sure hope VMI won) he was pretty rude and dismissive and my son has no desire to visit the Citadel after that experience.
The Rats he stayed with told him to friend them on FB, which he did on the ride home. He felt very welcome and at home.
Fingers crossed DS will be there on Matriculation day.
