A Day in the Life of a Cadet

Cadet’s learn to balance life as a college student and a ROTC member while still excelling in extra-curricular activities.

What's an average day like for a freshman ROTC cadet? Here's the answer...

6:30-9:00
Get up, go to physical training with your friends, shower, grab breakfast and head to class
9:00-9:50
Class: Calculus II
10:00-11:50
Class: Chemistry II: Forces and Bonding
12:00-1:00
Lunch at dining hall
1:00-3:00
Do homework, laundry
3:00-3:50
ROTC Class: Foundations of Officership I
4:00-6:00
Hang out, quick basketball game
6:00-7:00
Dinner with friends
7:00-10:00
Go to Calculus Help session, Study for tomorrow's test
10:00
Order late-night pizza with roommate

As you can see, ROTC doesn't interfere with a normal college schedule. In fact, it enhances it. ROTC teaches skills like leadership, teamwork and time management that not only complement college life, but will help you in the real world afterward.
