Virginia Military Institute, Lexington

I just visited, and it felt like a ghost town since nobody was around, but in some ways I did not mind that. It is a very historical institution, which is great, and has produced many honourable cadets and servicemen. I am not pleased with the school’s (and their perhaps worst graduate ever in our former governor), penchant of the erasure of former professor, Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. I could only find one or two references to him on campus, which is a shame, since even though he was not a popular professor, he as a man was insanely popular. He was very honourable, treated everyone regardless of race with nothing but respect, and his legacy should have nothing or little to do with the post-Reconstruction problems the school might’ve had within its culture. Nevertheless, it is just a sign of the times.

We had a wonderful time there and met the future of our generation. Thank you for the great hospitality. Operation Enduringwarrior .org

This once great state military academy has gone woke dropped its enrollment by 25% due to poor leadership that embraces a trash culture of men and country haters. Not worth you time or money, find a better institution.

Great school and a truly remarkable place steeped in history. VMI is a very unique experience that only a very few people in the world have the privilege of understanding. Hated being a cadet there but glad to be a graduate from there.

Great school. Our son graduated from VMI in 2021. Highly recommended.
