That is a great comparison NROTC grad. Our DD is a Freshman at Notre Dame on a NROTC scholarship. She opted to go there over an academy, primarily because she wanted a more traditional college experience. She love it there. There NROTC is a very active unit there and much more time consuming that my own personal experience with AROTC at another college. She is challenged with her coarse load, NROTC requirements and everything else she does, but absolutely loves everything about it. I asked her if she has any regrets on her choice and she does not. Our DS, who is a senior got a NROTC scholarship and has been appointed to the Naval Academy. He will be choosing the Naval Academy. He wants to be totally submerged in the academy life. He doesn’t feel as though he will be missing out on anything by going there over a civilian college. He is the type of kid, while being a high achiever, can benefit on being told what to do and when and I believe will thrive on that environment at the Academy. DD is very organized, self-disciplines and can juggle many things at once. As NROTC grad says, I think it comes down to what you see for your 4-year college experience, as you will end up in the same place in the end.
