    United States Naval Academy Reviews

    The Naval Academy is like no other institution. By the metrics and aesthetics, it is a wonderful school with premiere instruction and academic opportunity. It is located in beautiful Annapolis, and the campus itself is wonderfully landscaped. The only time it is not is when fresh snow falls in the winter, which gives makes the school feel more like Hogwarts than a service academy. Although, it is not a conventional school and the curriculum outside of academics in place to develop a professional competency and ability to lead others unmilitary pursuits is very stressful. There will be no other place that one can apply to earn an education, develop life skills, and create the deepest bonds forged through adversity and trials like one can along the banks of the Severn. It is a difficult school, not for the faint of heart, but it is a wonderful experience and well worth the effort paid.

    The Naval Academy is centered around the "brand". As midshipmen, we live together, work together, and work together. Each company creates a familial bond, people who you can always count on. One day, we will graduate and commission, trusting those beside us with our lives. Despite the great values the academy is founded on, the facilities are failing. Bancroft Hall, the dorm, is falling apart and the food in King Hall is digressing. If the DoD doesn't fix this problem, midshipmen life will continue to decline.
    It's a pretty good time, even as a plebe. Once you find your groove and learn to balance everything that's expected of you, you'll be climbing Herndon in no time. Go Navy, Beat Army!
