Im facing a similar situation. I currently live in Charlottesville, VA where UVA is located. Im stuck between going to UVA, which has normal ROTC and Virginia Tech, which has a corp. Both are great schools with excellent NROTC prgrams. However, I'm leaning towards UVA because of its renound prestige and I would be able to experience normal colege life,where as if I went to Tech I would be in the corps. You should really base your decission on what school you want to go to and your gut instinct.
