Is Corps of Cadets Worth It?

My main reason for not applying to the academies is that I want to have a normal social life, instead of the military one while I’m in college. So I’m not sure the sucky social life and heavy restrictions are worth it, even though the Corps is highly regarded.

Based on this I’d recommend a “normal” AFROTC or NROTC experience at a non SMC school. I don’t think your experience in a Cadet Corp would be close to a “normal social life”. Seriously consider some non corp schools.
