How do the US military academies compare to national universities?

<p>Pizzahut, what do "ordinary" college students do that matures them more than being in the military and college for four years?</p>

<p>Cadets are required to keep up with a demanding schedule of academics and military duties, stay physically fit, and interact with career military NCOs and officers on a daily basis...and maintaining a professional attitude while doing so.
...average college student...???</p>
