I am currently teaching for Army ROTC, and attending the Master's of Military History program as a student at Norwich.
As a member of the Corps of Cadets you would be required to attend ROTC, and both the Corps of Cadets and ROTC training are part of the daily fabric of your life as a Cadet at Norwich. Rook year is a challenge for anyone really, but one that many people have successfully overcome and become very proud of.
I can answer any specific questions you have if the many replies you're likely to get here leave you with more you want to know, reach out any time.

You can always contact the cadre members to ask for more memo. There should be a contact page on these two colleges websites. You can even try to call to ask for more information, but make sure to do some research before calling. Always try doing research before asking talking or emailing the cadre members. Always start at the lowest level when asking for more information (use chain of command).

You can expect Your entire daily routine to revolve around the Military. I did attend as a Cadet in an Army ROTC program Bordentown Military Institute, Bordentown, NJ which was in operation from 1885 to 1973 and ceased to operate in the post Vietnam period. Bugle calls signaled the days activities from Reveille at 0600 until taps at 2200 Civilian clothes were NOT allowed. Academic Classes, meals, athletic team activities and ROTC Classes in MST, Military Science and Tactics by active duty Officers and NCOs. I think You will find at VMI, Norwich, the Citadel to name a few places a program very much like that.

NU class of 2010. Yes that is all very similar. Although I recall our duty day ends at 2000. It does change from year to year. My freshman year, morning formation was 0500. When it was moved to 0700 a few years later, it was "sleeping in" for many of us older students.
