I've been looking into pursuing a military college for my higher education, preferably closer to my hometown in Vermont. Are there any military colleges located here?
Yes, there is one renowned military college located in Vermont, known as Norwich University. Established in 1819, Norwich University is the oldest private military college in the country, and it also holds the distinction of being the birthplace of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC).
Norwich University offers both a traditional civilian student experience and a Corps of Cadets program, which can provide military training and discipline in addition to the regular undergraduate program. The college has a broad range of majors, with popular programs including criminal justice, nursing, mechanical engineering, and cyber security.
Interestingly, Norwich University also accepts students who are not interested in military service and are looking for a rigorous academic experience in a structured environment. This can make for a diverse student body and provide a unique culture that contrasts with many other military institutions.
Remember, it's important to visit the campus (if possible) and do thorough research about the college's programs of interest, training routines, campus life, and financial aid opportunities before making a decision.
