Norwich University
Created | Updated May 1, 2006
On the south end of Nowhere (a.k.a. Northfield) Vermont (USA), lies Norwhich University. It is about a half hour drive form the state capitol Montpelier (which by the way, is the only state capitol WITHOUT a McDonalds). The simplelest approach is taking exit 5 from Interstae 89.
Norwich is very centered upon the campus due to the fact the school is about 70% ROTC and 30% Civilian. There is approximately 1800 students residing on campus at the moment. As to how the University Interfaces with the town, I cannot accurately say.
Norwich has a long list of achievements starting with the fact that it is the First and Oldest private military college founded in the United States, being founded in 1819. It also helped jumpstart the American educational system. It was also one of the first colleges in America to offer a Computer Engineering degree, is currently one of 11 (I think) schools in the U.S. to be certified for issuing a degree in computer security among many many many other things.
The grade requirement to get into Norwich varies greatly, but it never hurts to start off with a good high school GPA.
