Admissions

Prepare yourself for a very structured lifestyle if you join the Regiment of Cadets.

If you are looking to come here, make sure it's what you want to do. You have to be willing to give up a normal college life Monday through Friday. If you can do that, then you are set. It is a great place to be from, and everyone knows Maritime College. The alumni are great and will provide you with anything you need. The uniforms and the military life-style take some getting used to, but in my own opinion, I think it is worth it. The summer sea terms are a lot of work but it prepares you for the real life of a Coast Guard Officer. Seeing the world is a great opportunity and you will have so much fun in foreign ports. I promise! Our ROTC programs are top of the nation, and our sports team have great coaches. You will truly build your own family at Maritime, one that others will not expect. They will not be going through what you are, but it will be worth it in the end.

Best thing for future students:
1. Do your research don't just read reviews on the school and make your final decision. Research it, look up curriculum's, visit the school, shadow the school for a day. Find all the info you can to make sure you know what you are getting into. About 30% of the freshman students drop out of the school simply because they saw on the website that theres 100% job placement for graduates, but they had no idea what they were getting into. Don't be in that 30% do yourself and the school a favor. I would be happy to give you info email me [email protected] or look me up on facebook: devon kennedy.
2. If you feel like its the right school for you then get in shape! Your life will be breeze compared to everyone else if you a physically fit.
3. You cannot be a lazy person. If you are lazy chances are your also unmotivated to succeed in life don't bother applying if you are not motivated and hard working because you will fail out.
4. Finally! Be excited to attend Maritime. So many students are very negative and hateful towards the school and you don't only bring yourself down and turn into a drop out student you bring everyone else down. If your excited about college you'll be a happier and more successful person.
