I completed my first year of college at the Citadel. At the Citadel there is a system that they set in place for all the first years. Its a tradition at the military schools where every first year has to follow the fourth class system. That system meant that we had to follow all sorts of weird rules that were really irritating and flat out stupid because the school allows it. At times the system can be very flawed because it gives students power over others, which can result in students hazing first years which can be dangerous. There are very good teachers that teach the subject well and are fun to be in. Then there are horrible teachers that can't teach or explain the subject well at all. I did have some fun moments at the school, but overall there were just a lot of rules, regulations and other factors that really make the school unbearable. That's why I want to transfer to a different college where I can enjoy my life being free while working for a degree.
The teachers actually care about the success and wellbeing of their students. The school strives to accommodate the various lifestyles of their students while providing safe and disciplined environment. Being in the political science field, the teachers are very good at remaining neutral on viewpoints and presenting all angles.
The school is definitely challenging, it involves people yelling at you, a lot of physical activity, and extra military aspects that make it a lot different than attending a regular college. However, despite the difficulties that the school puts in front of its students, the overall experience is one that students and their families can be proud of. In the end, it teaches you how to be a strong person in the world. You learn leadership and professional development skills that can definitely be of value in any career field students decide to pursue after graduating.
