Valley Forge is what you make it. You will get back what you put in! It has one of the best ROTC programs in the country, and since the ECP program is fast paced- if you cannot manage your time well then you will fail and thus make yourself miserable. Those who thrive and find opportunities at school are rewarded. The Cybersecurity and Security Studies program taught by Professors such as Deucker, Kennedy, and Dr. Catagnus is top notch! KOP is a beautiful and safe area with many places for cadets to visit in their free time. Facilities (Dorming, The Boodle, Library) have improved drastically over the past few years, as well as the food. The school is completely ROTC focused, so cadets are always being mentally and physically challenged; there are multiple gyms and tracks for cadets to utilize. VFMC is 100% what you put into it, and the rewards outweigh the cons.

Most of the professors are incredible. For an adult student who trying to pursue a degree, it is great. However, some of the professors need improvement in ascertaining the level of prior knowledge and communicating their expectations in an online setting. The entry level technology courses should clearly communicate technology needs. The add drop period needs to be extended and modified to accommodate extenuating circumstances. I was charged for a class that I did not participate in due to COVID/family related issues. I informed the professor prior to the deadline, but was not truly heard. I was encourage to wait, which resulted in me being charged for a class. I clearly did not participate in the class. The administrative process can be tedious because of lack of responsiveness to phone calls. A system of arbitration or needs to be implemented that allows students to be truly heard and opportunities for concessions available.

Valley Forge Military College is not what it seems from the outside. The ROTC department is great and the Cadre are extremely professional and helpful individuals. The team is great and I could not ask for better staff to help myself as a Cadet before entering the Army as a 2LT. However, the academics are poor and the professors are not great. It is too easy and I feel as if they are high school classes that will not prepare me fully for my follow on school. The worst part of this school is the restrictions. About 90% of the college (all ECP cadets), are on full scholarship and get paid a monthly stipend from the Army and can only leave for a very short amount of time on Wednesday nights and can only leave for specific amounts of time on the weekends. This greatly decreases morale as there is absolutely nothing to do on campus. All in all, the ROTC program is great but the education, living environment and life at VFMC is far from ideal.
