While it has been a while since my attendance, after reading the comments I figured I would add a few that had been overlooked.

If you are interested in a lifelong career in the Military, this is an absolutely fantastic school, and the contacts you make while here will be invaluable. Attending USNA will put you in the best mindset to get your 20+ years in the Navy…if that is your goal.

But…if you are thinking of not making it a career, I would suggest you think twice. The biggest issue with USNA is that when you graduate, you will go to see and manage a division of enlisted people. Now if you are a Management major, this is great, but if you got a technical degree, odds are you won't look at ANYTHING in your major for years (around 4-5 years, until maybe your first shore tour). I know that when I got out, my EE knowledge had degraded way too much for comfort. I hadn't looked at any advance work during my first 5 years in the Navy, so the degree was almost wasted. It's something many people don't consider, but it has real ramifications when you get out.
