The stuff I enjoy most about college is living on my own and having my own scheduale and not having a fricken curfew. If I want to go out I can when I want, if I don't want to go out I don't have to.
What? Curfew? What Curfew? Me and some buds left the campus at midnight last night for beers and poutine. Got back around 0200. Good times.
As for the original question about "Fun at RMC?", is the institution, RMC, in itself fun? No I don't think so. But then again, neither is Civi-U. It's what you do with your spare time and with the people you meet that allows you to have a fun time.
For some people, going out and getting obliterated and waking up next to a coyote-ugly is fun. If that's their cup of tea, have at 'er boys, it's not mine. But if you're at RMC, you won't be doing this very often. Going out and getting hammered on a Sunday or Tuesday night is a lot less appealing when you have form up at 0715 the next morning (not that it hasn't been done before), and having a queen's girl do the walk of shame past your chain of command isn't exactly what you want considering frat in the shacks is technically a no-no.
That being said, there are a lot of unique experiences at RMC that are fun that just aren't offered at civilian university. For example, rappelling and C7 and Browning 9mm range days. I think the people who are saying that RMC "sucks" are referring to the extra baggage that comes along with going to a milcol. Uniforms, form ups, hair cuts, mandatory attendance, mandatory IMs, duty weekends, duty, etc... However, these don't often get in the way of having fun here at RMC.
If your idea of "fun" is living on your own, having to manage your own expensive, being able to skip your class 8am class because you're hungover and not having to wear a uniform, then RMC would be no fun. Otherwise, all the fun stuff this you do at civi-U such as getting absolutely plastered, chasing queen's girls (or RMC girls if you're really desperate), smoking sheesha, playing Xbox, going to the movies, etc and whatever, can all be done at RMC.
Also, if you don't go to RMC, shut your mouths; you don't know what it's like. Tell us what you like about civilian university, tells us what's fun, and I and those who also attend(ed) RMC will give you a comparison. Otherwise, stay in your lane.
