Why is RMC a college and not a university?
King's College comes to mind

RMC Degrees are handed out to fulfill officer requirements, understand it is a military education you're getting at RMC, not a civilian one! I agree with the RMC Club stance on this little issue.
RMC at Sandhurst NO LONGER GIVES DEGREES if I understand them correctly. They stopped giving degrees some 4 or 5 years ago to maintain its integrity as a center of MILITARY education.
Wookilar said:I would say that RMC should be a Military College, but the reality is that Military training takes a back seat to the academic side of the house. Hence only one Division training weekend in the entire year and only two hours a week dedicated to military topics.
If you do not attain your BBB's, you technically do not graduate RMC. What has that got to do with military training?
Initially, the degrees granted from RMC were actually from Queen's as they had the authority to do so, RMC did not.
Parade practice for a few hours a month and inspections two days a week do not count as military training (It still puzzles me why so many RMC grads have terrible drill in their units when they do so much of it here).
If the military really ran the show, there would be more staff (not 32 for 1000 OCdts). There would be no toleration of improper dress and deportment (because they would be caught more often) If I see one more Ipod wearing person with wires running under their uniform, I am going to flip!!!. There would be no sleeping in class, skipping class or being disrespectful to instructors (civy or military). In short, this place would be run like a QL3 course on any other training base in the nation, any trade, any element. Screw up, you get charged or atleast a mitt full of extras. Detention does not count.
