US Naval Academy Reviews

Went to the summer seminar, had a wonderful time. Makes me wanna devote myself into getting in the academy. #candidateof2k19

Great location and beautiful scenery. A great spot to visit with family and friends. Tons or history to see.

by learning from my boyfriend tht was in the service

We have taken our children to the Naval Academy on numerous occasions. Each time, it is special for all of us. Beautifully maintained, it is a pleasure to stroll around. In addition, the statues on campus and the knowledgeable tour guides provide a bounty of information about the institution and its history (as well as the history of the country).

i'm planning to go there my future college,i dont know but i feel like i need to go i just love it

We took the tour yesterday, starting at 11:00. The feeling we left with was the tour contained way too much emphasis on the athletic aspects and not nearly enough on the midshipmen. We did get to see the noon formation as they filed in for the noon meal, but we had already expended an hour and had much more left to see. So much time was used up looking at the pool, diving and wrestling facility however that we left the tour after the formation and probably missed a great deal which may have been of interest.

Bottom line - if you have a few days to spend in Annapolis I recommend a visit to the USNA. However, if time is short and you have much more to see in the area you might want to reconsider this tour, unless you are a Go Navy Beat Army sports nut. The facilities are beautiful, the guides knowledgeable and very willing to answer any question asked. We just wished we had allocated more time for the tour.

Great Tour Guide! Lots to see. Beautiful buildings, grounds and museum! We spent 5 hours there. Outstanding sport facilities for USNA Students.

Very disappointed! They brag about being family! Our daughter was hospitalized and we weren't notified. I understand HIPPA laws but when we called up there no one would give us any information about her whereabouts. We even told them that she was missing for 5 days and we were about to call the police and still nothing! One of her friends(from me stalking her Facebook)finally told us where she was. Come on Academy you asked us to trust you with our children!

we liked. public gardens, stately buildings, bay. pretty cadets.

Unbelievable ! It is possible to enter and walk freely in some buildings and gardens and even eat in the 2 military restaurants. To do

The United States Naval Academy is by far the most beautiful school I have ever visited. If you are planning on going, try to make it for a Noon Meal Formation held in Tecumsa Court just outside Bancroft Hall. Very neat. Also, lots of great items in he Gift Shop, so drop in if you have time! And as always, "Go Navy, Beat Army!"

We've taken guests from out of town. The architecture is beautiful, and the place is very interesting. The docents we had both times we went were very knowledgeable. we highly recommend the tour.

My daughter wants to go ther and become a forensics scientist we went for seapearch 2 years in a row in was very cool

This was certainly a Bucket List visit. It was an honor to br allowed on the grounds. This place is beautiful and stunning. The buildings are so classic and certainly ornate. It would have been nice to see the Brigade but that just means a second trip is planned.

Simply the best views overlooking the Severn River.

Good school if you want to be in the Navy. It has a really good aviation program. This is one of the best military academies in the world. # NAVY BEAT ARMY!

What a great campus! Bob Cepek gave a fantastic tour!! He truly loves his Academy and shared some fantastic historical info!!

Full of history and great architecture never mind the exceptional staff and student body.

Beautiful campus for this historic leadership institution!

Amazing experience
Just an awesome place to walk around

Briefly visited Annapolis in winter 2002 in the evening. Saw almost nothing because of the dark. Dinner in a restaurant with a close friend of mine and noticed some pilot helmets decorated under the roof. This time, I had a thorough visit at the Navy Academy's campus and walked into classroom buildings. Best of the world class environment for navy officers' training.

The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is a federal educational academy located in Annapolis, Maryland, in the United States, and founded in 1845.

Probably the most beautiful campus I have ever seen in the U.S. Amazing historic buildings with long rows of gorgeous trees lining the roads and sidewalks. Great view of the water and truly a pleasure to walk through.

This place was OK. I only finished 2 years here of school for me but overall pretty good experience. Learned a lot. Kinda like that movie Officer and a Gentleman with Richard Gere without the Debra Winger part or the wanting real bad to stay in and get my wings.

Must see. Free to get in but I choose the guided tour for 10 dollars. We'll worth it. Knowledgeable tour guide. Lasts a little more than an hour. After the tour is done then you can continue walking around the campus "yard". Do not skip the Museum. Also free and you will need 2 hours just for the museum. One of the best museums I have been in.

Stopped here and walked around the campus one evening around Christmas, it was interesting and beautiful.

Go Navy! Beat Army in 2018, doh!
The naval museum has a picture of the highest altitude, "Beat Army" football rally, ever! Rally sign was posted on the spacecraft window, in space, during both the Gemini VI & VII space missions.

If in the Annapolis area on a weekend and granted access to visit (need ID), recommend checking out the picturesque Academy grounds to stroll through or buy something NAVY at the decent size gift store. Don't bother eating here, save that for Annapolis city - food is much better!

So rich with history including the resting place of John Paul Jones in the basement of the Navy Chapel.

The Navy Baseball Camp was nothing but a money grab. Most of the campers time was spent on on a little league field. I would not recommend this camp...

One of the hardest Universities to get accepted. My father graduated here in '76 and has endless stories about the place.

It was awesome! There was a Billy Ghoat and my name is BILLY! How awesome is that.

Most beautiful campus with so much history and pride

Have been there several times. Wonderful place, and steeped in tradition. Every Midshipman is an over-achiever who WANTS to be there, rather than some spoiled kid who got their parents to pay their way through college, and sleeps through class. Physical fitness is just important as academics, and it shows. After that first (Plebe) year, every Mid is in the best shape of their lives and they do better in class because of it. As some say "it's the worst place to be, but the best place to be FROM". The demands on Mids are greater than anywhere, so It is certainly not a place to go to school if you can't do it bigger, better, faster, and harder than everyone else. Over 17,000 students apply each year, for roughly 1,100 spots on Induction Day. That means this place is pretty hard to get into, but the graduation rate is over 85% (whereas it's 59% in the rest of the country) AND these graduates will be protecting our nation in The Fleet for at least 5 years after graduation. Through Knowledge, Sea Power!

Incredible place to be. Great that you can walk around and explore the academy and see cadets in action.

It has a long history and has made great contributions to the construction of the US Navy.

This is a great place to go to see the life of the soon be officers. It is also great to take a walk.

Went there for the Blue Angels airshow and we had a great time watching the air show.

Very honorable institution. Gorgeous campus and very historic.

Went here on a field teip. Campus is beautiful and has well-kept grounds. The Chapal was sweet too and I got to see the Organ play. This place is awesome

Great pace to visit and an American Institution. Wonderful views of the Chesapeake Bay.

My school had a Girls Only STEM Day. It was so fun and the students there are very kind.

My kids loved exploring the museum part of it. Expect to be there at least a few hours to be able to see everything

A poor excuse for a military academy, the cadets (with a few exceptions) lack discipline, leadership, and basic communication skills.

It's a great place to visit and there gift shop is super cool

Beautiful landscape and facilities. I really enjoyed the museum and chapel

Great place to visit! pretty campus and exquisite views

Awesome campus tour. Beautiful city with great places to eat.

A piece of living history. A college, a military base, museums, gifft Shop, beautifully maintained grounds, monuments, and buildings. Drive on access is limited to military and staff, but walkin with valid ID is available. As a plus, Annapolis is a beautiful waterfront town with its own great shopping, restaurants, and historical significance.

I have visited the Academy and was impressed with the beautiful grounds no wonder Senator McCain chose the Academy for a final resting place

Very beautiful grounds and buildings. It's full of history and perfect for a nice long walk. You will need an ID to be allowed in, so don't forget it!

My school and I came here for a field trip when I was in sixth grade and I hope to make it to this school one day

The history and the beauty of this place is incredible. Not to be missed.

Great place to walk around. Amazing scenery and great history

Absolutely gorgeous campus with world class academics. Have self-toured multiple times, including stops at the visitor's center, the athletic buildings, the cathedral, and the sports fields. You must present a photo ID to enter the campus. Gate 1 downtown can be crowded, especially during events (Blue Angels air shows, for example). This is a must-see in Annapolis during your visit!

Beautiful place, a lot of things to see, awesome place!

Beautiful campus.
I always love to visit and see the Midshipmen walking around.
Will forever be proud of the men and women who dedicate themselves to serving our great nation.
