<p>RMC = ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE! 
</p>
<p>anyone applying ?</p>
<p>you do know that in your first year, you aren’t allowed off campus for the whole year and have limited contact to the outside world. I think its one phone call a week and one letter a month.</p>
<p>ur kidding right 
? how do u know? thats so weird and unnecessary :(</p>
<p>It is a military college…MILITARY. Its not a joke there, its much much different than your U of Big City in Ontario. </p>
<p>You do tons of drills and part of your admission is your athletic ability. Once you sign up to enroll in that school, you are an employee of the Canadian Army and your expected to work for them after you graduate. </p>
<p>I’m not kidding about emprisonment of your first year. For 365 days, you can’t leave campus.</p>
<p>are you in that college ? how come they don’t tell us all this when we signup ?</p>
<p>Nope, not at the school. I did go to one of their fairs and its exactly what was told to me and what was in the brochure. </p>
<p>If your an american, best of luck getting in , I don’t think you’ll be getting in. Their admissions is quite competitive too. I think RMC is for Canadian CITIZENS ONLY!</p>
<p>One of my friends is in the canadian forces, applied to get in and said that its very competitive. It’s also free, since you are working for the government and in the ROTP program. All boarding, food and books are paid for. Since my friend is employed by Canadian forces and he wants an education, they sent him up to University of Ottawa instead. </p>
<p>If you are applying to get into the Reserve Entry Training Plan, you will have to pay tuiton but they only have about 10-20 spots for this every year.</p>
<p>If you have never been exposed to any army stuff, I highly recommend against this school. Most of these kids, or men (80 percent male population) have government and military families. </p>
<p>Typical schedule is like this:</p>
<p>Wake up at 6
Do drills
Go to class 8-4
Do your sports
Eat
Homework
Sleep</p>
<p>There is very little freedom.</p>
<p>maybe i will study a another university and still be part of ROTP. I have been in air cadets 6 yrs and am know the military lifestyle.</p>
<p>so…I don’t see the “why” part of attending a school like that. Anyone care to elaborate?</p>
<p>It’s Canada’s military college. If you’re planning a career in the military, it’s the place to go. I would imagine that the students who attend do so for the same reasons as students attend West Point, Annapolis, etc.</p>
<p>That’s actually a lie. You are technically allowed to leave campus, but your first semester is so tightly packed you don’t have time to. Your second semester you have a little more time, and as the years progress, the amount of free time you have becomes a lot greater.

<p>Well I can tell you from my perspective that a lot of the people I know who are applying have either been in cadets and/or come from a military family. Personally, I’m joining because it’s a free education (plus a salary while you’re in school), a great opportunity, and when you finish they hire you on the spot so you already have a solid career. On top of that, when you sign your contract for however long you want to stay in (if you didn’t pay for your schooling it’s five mandatory years in the job you were trained for -still paid-) that’s how long you stay in, so they don’t fire you and stuff unless you break a rule. Every time you get a new rank, you move up a pay scale. Plus, if you decide to leave, it looks amazing on a job application.</p>
<p>As a grad from an American service academy, I feel fairly comfortable in saying, “Go if you want to be in the military.” If you join for reasons other than actually wanting to be there, chances are that you’ll be pretty miserable. A military career can be an amazing ride, but it can be a bit rough at times.</p>
<p>I want to join RMC :c any suggestions or instructions? please</p>
<p>The first response is wrong. Grad class of 2014, and I can tell you that it is only the first month that you are treated that way. Its called First Year Orientation Program (FYOP) and is designed to get you used to the lifestyle of the college, as well as prepare you for the extra bits and pieces of RMC</p>
<p>side note, its one of the only universities you can be kicked out of for being physically unfit.</p>
