Hello all, I have been given the opportunity to make a choice between the United States Naval Academy and the University of Notre Dame. I have already received an offer of appointment to the academy as well as an acceptance to Notre dame. I have also received the navy option ROTC scholarship to Notre Dame, which I would definitely use if I went there. My career plan is to go into the navy and to spend the full 20 years or more in the navy. I have read other forums comparing the Naval Academy vs ROTC, but this one is a choice between a very good (top 15 in the nation) school such as Notre Dame and the Naval Academy.

My question is: what are the differences both during college and the differences as you enter a career in the navy (both short term and long term) and which one you would recommend. Also, insight about the social differences, college life differences, and such would be greatly appreciated.
