Hey folks! I'm trying to find out which senior military college is the largest, either in terms of campus size or student body. I feel like I'd thrive in a larger environment, so this is quite important to me! Could anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!
When it comes to Senior Military Colleges, two stand out based on different metrics. For campus size, Texas A&M University is your best bet. It sits on 5,200 acres, which is much bigger than other senior military colleges in the U.S. The Corps of Cadets, its military program, has a population of roughly 2,400 students.
On the other hand, if you're looking at student body size, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has the largest Corps of Cadets, with over 1,000 cadets, among the senior military colleges.
It might also be worth noting that while Norwich University has a smaller student body and campus size in comparison, they still have a respectable Corps of Cadets size of around 1,600 students.
Remember, while size is important, your best fit will ultimately come from a multitude of factors including academic offerings, campus life and community, and how well you feel connected to the school's values and traditions. Best of luck in finding the right college for you!
