[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have first hand experience or heard directly from your kid/someone you know: how much of a role do the Cadets play in the vibe on campus? Are they always in uniform? They do take classes as the other students. [/quote]

Many schools have ROTC cadets on campus.  VT simply has more of them, considered a "Corps."  That said, there are only about 1,000 of them in a school of about 30k, so it's a small presence. They take classes along with everyone else and are generally in uniform.  My daughter dated a cadet for a semester.  [/quote]

Even with *just* 1000 out of 30k, you see more of them around than at other schools[/quote]

[b]And?  Does this bother you somehow?  They're a part of the campus community.[/quote][/b]

Yeah. There’s even ROTC at USC, HArvard and UVA! And many other places. Shocking! It’s the only way some students would ever be able to afford college.[/quote]

but [b]presence at VT is bigger than anywhere else we saw.[/b] ROTC at other schools are not in uniform all the time. i know cuz i dated one. only was in uniform when they did their rotc drills which i think was once a week as i recall.[/quote]

Yep. Not saying good or bad just that that's what it was.
