This whole post is terrible.

I got accepted to RMC this year and I voluntarily released 3 days after getting to Kingston.
Pretty much speaks for itself, in terms of your expertise on the matter at hand.
It wasn't that hard, but I am a very independent person and I've been living on my own since my 16Th birthday, so I really didn't enjoy to be treated like a prisoner.
Anyway, I also I didn't get the job I wanted, so I didn't see the point in going through Basic training + FYOP (First year orientation program = hell) to do something I didn't even want to.
Although excessively dramatic, there is a grain of truth here. If you're not in a MOSID that you'll enjoy, the hardship simply won't be worth it.
Also, on my first few days here, some current RMC students told us to f.u.c.k off before it was too late. I've only met a few students who were happy to be there... two out of about 10.
You got there in early August and left three days later. At that point, I'm willing to bet that the
vast majority of RMC students were either away on summer training (as happens for all ROTP students) or on leave. Need I inform you of how miniscule your sample data is? Including what....second language training students? Holding platoon? If this was enough to sway you one way or the other, you are far too impressionable.
(By the way the instructors are using swears as a form of punctuation. You better get used to it)
Watch 'Basic Up' on youtube; swearing is not unique to RMC. In fact, especially if you're army, you'll find that the language used by instructors at RMC is quite tame compared to other places.
Plus I was told that education-wise, it is very general. If you are applying for the "free university" it doesn't worth it. You have to go through too much crap for it.
You were told? By who? Your tiny sample of students? You spent 0 hours in academic classes at RMC. What you didn't factor in is the strong reputation RMC academic programs have, the success of RMC students at academic, engineering, and other competitions, and the rare benefits of RMC like a very low instructor to student ratio (much lower at RMC than most other universities, meaning that you actually learn from your profs instead of TAs).
Please, follow your dreams, that's all that really matters. If you are motivated to do military career and that you don't mind the yelling, the short nights, the stress and the physical training, please go ahead and apply, they will be more than happy to recruit you.
And I'll add that, if your dreams include studying at RMC, ignore everything that yoaa2 had to say here.
However, if you have any doubts and that you are doing it for the free university, please, do not apply, as you won't enjoy yourself here. You don't want to be stuck doing a job you don't like for 10-13 years for the sake of your mental health and happiness.
Again, a grain of truth, but you don't have nearly enough ammunition to back your claim that people won't enjoy their time at RMC simply because you didn't enjoy your five minutes.
