I can comment on the rate you mentioned above for The Citadel. The acceptance rates are a factor of yield, which for the smaller military colleges (vs the large universities like TAMU or Va Tech), is typically going to be much lower. A lot of high school students think they want to attend one...

Hi - Congratulations on your acceptance and your scholarship. All you need to know about Day 1, is on the Matriculation Website. Shoes and boots are one of the most important things to take care of early so you have time to break them in. See in particular...

I would definitely shave for your first introduction to your Company 1st Sergeant at signing in. Length of hair is up to you - it will be gone shortly. There is or will be on the college website, an entire web page of information on Matriculation Day, and what to bring with you. Best of Luck.

Lol….amazing what our federal government provides the military services. My daughter and son-in-law, who is in the Marine Corps, have stayed in the Hawaii and also Disney World facilities. But my cousin who graduated from the USNA never got to use the facilities in the Hawaiian Islands, Disney...

Six cadets from The Citadel participated in the 22nd annual Law of Armed Conflict, or LOAC, Competition for military academies at the International Institute for Humanitarian Law (IIHL) in Sanremo, Italy, during March of 2024. This year’s competition had a record attendance of 101 cadets from...

The information you posted was misleading. The evening students you refer to are mostly graduate students and some undergraduates who do not attend classes with cadets nor do they live on campus. Other than some graduate transfer students who are athletes, they do not mix with cadets. Most of...

Tac21, The Citadel is not similar to Norwich in experience. The Citadel does not have “a combination of cadets and civilian students.” “Civilian students” at The Citadel are evening school or on-line students that do not live on campus, or attend classes with Cadets. A few veteran students...

Thanks, I thought this was the case. My cousin was NAPS.

Would you happen to know statistics of how many in NAPS do receive an appointment?

So, couple of points in response to your post: - if your DS is considering an SMC like The Citadel, but also considering a university like Charleston Southern, you should ask him to carefully consider what his expectations are. The Citadel cadet experience is intense, physical and cadets are...

Are you a Texas resident? If you are willing to attend the USNA, and want to attend a Texas university, why not also consider TAMU as a plan B? I understand TAMU offers R&B in addition to any other merit awards to all ROTC scholarship cadets.

“This August, The Citadel Regimental Band and Pipes will proudly represent the United States for the fourth time as the country’s designated military band performing at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is the largest production of its kind...

Just to add to considerations, my grandson has been accepted to Virginia Tech - not considering the Corps, and still waiting on some other schools. He lives in Virginia, and his father is a senior Marine Officer who works with a lot of think tanks in the region. Va Tech is closer to DC for...

Why did you choose The Citadel for your college experience? “The Citadel is one of the only schools that gave me the opportunity to do everything I wanted to do. I was able to pursue an Air Force contract, play Division I soccer, while also majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Also, I wanted to...

So, not sure what your definition of “normal” is, but unless you mean staff, the policy prohibits dating them. There are no civilian females on the campus - unless you mean a few veteran students, MECEPS or Active duty Navy, the closest non-cadet females are at College of Charleston...
