Going to this school is one of the worst decisions I have ever made in my life. Not only is the school located at an inconvenient location, the school has a student body, mainly the corps of cadets, that is arrogant and close-minded. I have never seen examples of racism before I went to this school. I have lost count of how many times I have heard cadets talking about blowing up the Middle East or killing illegal immigrants. Some cadets have a problem with the civilian students, as if being a cadet makes them exceptional. There is a major hazing problem on campus because some upperclassman think they can do whatever they want with freshman. These cadets are supposed to be our future military officers? Hopefully, some NCO will be put some of these cadets in their place. I have the feeling that some of these cadets think they are in the real military, even when they are not. Many of the cadets have a false sense of what the military is like, only basing it off war movies and novels. The freshman are taught to idolize their cadre, rather than to get the most out of their education. Some put more effort in their PT test than their final exams. Cadets talk so much about Corps gossip because it is the only interesting part of their lives. On weekends, cadets come back to the barracks creating chaos around the building, which only causes people to pay dorm damages. If the Corps of Cadets did not exist, then maybe this school would be a bit more tolerable. As a cadet, I feel so ashamed and embarrassed to be associated with this group of students. You think West Pointers and Academy graduates are arrogant? The cadets here bring it to a new level. You wonder why only 1/10 of 1% only come here? Don't come to this school, unless you want to waste your college years putting up with bulls*** and idiots. There are so many better colleges out there.

Not so bright
I am going to be entering my third year here as of next year. I can honestly say I wish I would have gone a different pat as far as choosing a University. My rook year wasn't to bad. But once you get past your rook year you're basically tossed to the side and stepped on. No one no longer cares about you and your just another shitty cadet. This military college lacks everything dealing with the military. In fact after your first year the things your now able to do might as well necessarily make you part of the civilian body of students. Before you even consider this school realize those four years of your life are going to be spent wasting away. The only thing your going to walk away with from Norwich is knowing how to cope with isolation. Choose wisely.

Despite what some may say, Norwich University is a great school. It's easy to become aggravated, especially in the military side, and the surrounding town and lack of any outside personnel can make things seem bleak, especially in the winter months.

That said, the school is what you make of it. But what keeps me going there are the people Ive grown to know over the past 2 years. The administration treats you as a person, and it willing to work around any difficulties you may experience.

As for the professors, their helpfulness and flexibility to meet outside of office hours, at least in the science departments, is amazing. Nearly all hold PhD's, and are some of the most brilliant people I've met.

Definitely worth the tuition. Great school.
