I would suggest that your son pick up the phone and talk to the ROTC contact at UI (not at Chicago) and find out what the drop out rate has been, what the logistical challenges are, etc. One of my kids was at a college and had several ROTC friends- the program was not housed at this college, but they had no difficulty navigating the time/distance/commitment. But kids I know in my area have done similar at a range of colleges and at some point, it became unworkable. Much of that was out of anyone’s control (time/space continuum; mass transit options, etc.) but some of that was the attitude of the commanding officer who made it clear that the most minor infraction (showing up three minutes late for example… when weather made mass transit slow to a crawl) would be a disciplinary action.
