I attended Military College of Vermont - Norwich University (MCV-NU) during the mid-1990s. The first semester was marked by non-stop hazing and physical and psychological abuse, which included severe sleep deprivation (recognized as torture under international law). Consequently, some students became suicidal, developed hallucinations, psychosis, depression, eating, sleeping, and neurologic disorders, and other illnesses, required emergency medical care and hospitalizations, and suffered life-long medical disabilities. This abuse had no purpose and was antithetical to college education and military training. For a highly inflated tuition, classes served not for learning but for taking much-needed naps. The dining room food, for those still able to eat while being screamed at and verbally abused, offered cereals, dry pizzas, or sandwiches. However, when the college hosted money and recruitment drives, it made banquets for its donors, using students as servants. The living quarters were small rooms in an underground basement, with two tiny windows under the ceiling that permitted almost no natural light and four or more students on metal bunk beds. Showers and toilets were communal. Frequently, the student cadre would come to the room and trash it, throwing mattresses, bedding, and personal belongings, such as clothes, textbooks, shampoo, shoe polish, and cleaning chemicals, together with trash into one big pile in the middle of the room. At other times, they would wake up students in the middle of the night, forcing them to strip naked and insert their genitals (if males) into a water flask cover attached to a belt, and run outside around the marching field in circles in the Vermont winter freezing temperatures, which at times reached between -20F to -30F under zero, while hitting them with snow and ice for their and other students' sick amusement and gratification. The physician and the licensed mental health clinicians employed by the MCV-NU did not provide the necessary medical care nor transfer the acutely ill and severely abused students to the nearby hospital emergency department for the required medical intervention. Instead, they continued to cover up the abuse and never reported it to the medical and law enforcement authorities as legally required. When some students were eventually brought to the emergency room (by other concerned individuals) and subsequently hospitalized, and their parents pressed charges against the MCV-NU, the college administration destroyed records and ordered students and witnesses to keep silent, which they did because of their guilt and being thoroughly brainwashed by the Military College of Vermont - Norwich University Corps of Cadets. I served under the USJSOC overseas and was a decorated war veteran before attending the MCV-NU. Although I had a full scholarship, I left the MCV-NU one year later because of the above-described abuse that threatened my academic career. I completed my BA with a summa cum laude at one of New England's private liberal arts colleges, my graduate studies at Harvard University, and my doctoral degree outside the US. My research, teaching, and leadership appointments spanned the US, EU, and Asia.

Don't take their words for it when they say your loans/grants are being processed on time. I was left holding the bill that had to be paid out of pocket which I'm still recovering from. Not only that several of the professors are blatantly racist antisemites. One of the professors I had in 2018 told one of my Jewish peers that she needed to "find Jesus". I would never go here and honestly it's embarrassing to answer people where I got my MAs.

I visit the campus with my son and it's a beautiful campus! As a parent, I like how everyone is family and how the classes are hands on. Everyone was super nice.

Great university with a lot of history and beautiful scenery! The Norwich University staff are always professional and considerate. They provided me with exxon gas cards because I was driving from Texas. Enrollment was a breeze. There's an in-depth guided tour. I was able to eat in the cafeteria with my son before the tour started. Their cafeteria is unbelievable. I didn't expect that much variety for a university.

Amazing University and campus! Administration was top notch. Really a great place for your son/daughter to attend.
