I’ve got to respectfully disagree with the sentiment that it’s a realistic approximation of cadet life. It’s similar in that you attend classes, eat at Mitch’s, and do some PT, sure. What you don’t experience, though, are any of the things that will take up 99% of your time as a cadet. The big one there is obviously homework, but there are also the little things like roll call, CPME, cleaning for AMIs, sitting on honor boards, grad physical requirements, doing laundry, dental appointments, yearbook photos, your cadet job, managing four degrees, paying bills, etc. It’s the little things, both military and non, that suck the hours out of your day. Honestly, I think it’s impossible to really know what it’s like to be a cadet until you’ve done it. That said, if you like Summer Sem, you’ll probably enjoy life here too. If the concept of this place seems right for you, then it probably is.
