United States Naval Academy Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about United States Naval Academy? Why?

Courtney

Given that it's a military institution, there are noticeably less opportunities to express one's artistic talents and ideas.

Michael

Preoccupation with diversity and public relations. Lack of focus on developing students into officers.

Jessica

How little it prepares you for the real world.

Matt

The unbelievable workload coupled with the various restrictions and requirements. These forces come together to create a school that is bent on smashing midshipmen into the molds forged through the development of the academy.

Daniel

I will never know what it is like to go to a normal school and feel that I may lack some experiences necessary to be completely successful in my life after the Navy.

Bret

The administration stomping out free time away from school and trying to take away extra curriculars, especially creative/artistic ones

Heather

Anything bad about the Naval Academy is all a matter of ones attitude. The worst thing is the cynicism that evolves as students spend more and more time inside the walls of the Yard. Good friends and a good attitude can help to overcome this though.
