United States Naval Academy
“You can never truly know yourself unless youQuite BrightAerospace Engineering
You can never truly know yourself unless you are tested. The Naval Academy forces you to know yourself at a very young age. You will find out very quickly what your strengths and weaknesses are. This is invaluable for your future life. Some people NEVER come to this revelation. You will do things at the Academy that others only dream about. It is challenging. Sometimes it can be stressful. Sometimes it will seem overwhelming. But that's all part of the process. In the end you will never regret the experience and be proud that you endured what no other college student can even relate to. The memories will last you a life time. You will learn to be a leader of men instead of when a beer chugging contest at at a Frat party. The bottom line is this: Know YOURSELF. It's not for everybody.

“The Naval Academy is not easy place toPolitical Science
The Naval Academy is not easy place to get into, attend, or graduate from, but the education you receive is top-notch and training opportunities are unparalleled. Class sizes are small, and all classes are taught by professors, not teachers' assistants. Though I would highly recommend the Academy and would even like my own kids to one day attend, it is definitely not your typical college experience. I would encourage anyone considering it to carefully research the school and ensure that his/her motivation for attending is the right one. If you really want to graduate and become a naval or Marine Corps officer, than you will do fine.
