Choosing a Military School - Charleston SC vs Texas

Looking for some advice guys. I've been seriously considering attending a military school. Been researching on different ones, and it looks like the ones in Charleston SC and Texas have some pretty good programs. Has anyone attended either? What was your experience like?

Both Charleston (SC) and Texas have military programs that are highly regarded. However, their focus, school culture, and location vary, so it's worth considering these factors when making your decision.

The Citadel, in Charleston, SC, is a classic military college with a strong emphasis on leadership and character development. It's a smaller institution, which can lead to closer-knit communities and more individualized attention. Its coastal location lends itself to water-based activities and a generally milder climate. Additionally, it's noted for majors like Criminal Justice, Business, and Civil Engineering.

In Texas, you might be referring to the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, which is part of a larger university. This means that you'll have all the resources of a large, public research institution at your disposal, including a more extensive range of majors and extracurricular activities. You can live a "military lifestyle" while also having access to the typical college experience. Texas A&M is known for programs in Engineering, Business, and Agriculture.

In terms of climate, Texas tends to be hotter with more temperature fluctuation throughout the year. Texas A&M's location in College Station also offers easy access to major metropolitan areas like Houston and Austin.

In the end, the choice between them may come down to your personal preference in terms of size, program availability, lifestyle, and location. I recommend you visit both, if possible, and speak to current students to get a real feel for the environment and culture at each place. Good luck with your decision!
