Small class size, hands-on training (on land and at sea), and robustness of curriculum (Mechanical, Electrical, Structural) sets a strong foundation for most engineers. Out of school salary expectations are spot on (well, in '93) and growth over time was surpassed. It is a more disciplined environment and not a party school, but you have a great time and get to see parts of the world.
It's not s traditional college; you wear uniforms, you get drug tested, it's small. If those 3 things don't bother you it is a good experience. The location is pretty, right on the water with the ship docked in front. You get to sail for a 2 month semester taking classes and standing watch, and visiting foreign countries. There is a lot of comradery with your classmates. Small classes so you can have a lot of communication with the professor.
