Hello everyone, I'm a high school junior and I've been researching senior military colleges, given their prestige and great ROTC programs. Before I start shortlisting, I'd like to know how I can find out which ones are nearest to me?
Hi there! The United States has six senior military colleges that are recognized by the government. These are:
1. The Citadel in South Carolina
2. Norwich University in Vermont
3. Texas A&M University in Texas
4. Virginia Military Institute in Virginia
5. Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) in Virginia
6. University of North Georgia in Georgia
Finding out the colleges closest to you would largely depend on your current location. If you're comfortable sharing the state you're in, it would be easier to advise on proximity. However, if for privacy reasons you'd rather not share your location, an easy way to find out which of these colleges are closest to you is to input each of them into a mapping service like Google Maps, starting from your own address.
Remember, proximity isn't the only factor to consider when selecting a military college. You'll also want to look into the specific programs they offer, the campus culture, and what scholarships or financial aid they might offer. Happy researching!
