If you want to serve as an officer in the armed forces, gain leadership experience at a young age that will enhance your civilian career for a lifetime, if you want to reach your highest potential - do ROTC. This place is not what it used to be 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Years ago this was THE place to get an education and gain benefits that last a lifetime, both in and out of the service. No longer is this the case. No longer is it necessary or worth it to choose the academy over ROTC as it provides NO benefits apart from initially knowing more people in the fleet. The reason that the reviews for this place are so good are that 1) many of the reviewers graduated at a time where it was advantageous and worth it to go to the USNA, and 2) half the reviews are not only about the school, but the Navy as well (it can be an awesome career). You would see similar (and better) reviews if there was a similar ROTC review site. If you talk to old graduates they will have many fond and hilarious memories of the USNA, which involve experiences you won't find anywhere else. If you talk to young junior officers (recent graduates) they will talk of how shitty the place is and how they wish they took that ROTC scholarship to university X.
