What Are the Disadvantages of ROTC?

Military Service Commitment: Commit to ROTC only if you are certain you want to join the military after graduation and can handle an eight-year military service obligation.

Increased Responsibility: In addition to completing your degree coursework, you will need to commit to physical fitness, waking up early, and attending additional classes and meetings. These commitments will be as important as your academic responsibilities.

Inaccessibility to Persons with Disabilities: ROTC requires a certain level of physical ability, so it is not accessible to people with certain disabilities.

Scholarship Standards: ROTC scholarships set high academic and personal standards, and if you drop below them, you could lose your scholarship.

Legally Binding Commitment: You must be certain you want to be in ROTC before you sign the contract. If ROTC expels you or if you drop out, you could face legal consequences and will need to pay back your scholarship money. NO NEED TO ANSWER
