This is the way I see it. Let me know what you think.Do not go to VMI. I go to VA Tech right now. I have a couple friends at VMI that wish they went here instead of VMI. VMI is a depressing place. At Virginia Tech, we are able to be with civilians and live pretty normal lives outside of the corps.
Pros of VMI: All military school (better prepped for a military career and everyone is the same), know more people at VMI (4)
Cons of VMI: Less quality education (Applied Mathematics instead of Engineering), militaristic (more strict, less fun), less educated people
Pros of VTCC: civilian school (diverse pop, opportunities for non-military activities, more females (lol), better research facilities (engineering), lots of opportunities for internships, better degree (engineering instead of math) for a career after the military. 3rd gen VTCC cadet.
Cons of VTCC: less military environment (less prepped for career), might not graduate in 4 years (w/engineering degree = possibly more money), know fewer people in corps, but more people in college in general.
