Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan got an inside look at what it's like on the first day for new freshmen, known as knobs, at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. Matriculation day marks the beginning of the knobs' seven-month journey to joining the South Carolina Corps of Cadets at The Citadel, one of the oldest public senior military colleges in the US, which has been at the center of controversy for decades because of allegations of racism, sexism, and hazing and its historical ties to the Confederacy.
After saying goodbye to their families, the knobs encounter a group of upperclassmen tasked with leading the new class during matriculation. Despite the school's complicated past, we saw some cadets making progress toward changing The Citadel's culture in real time.

Sumter to resupply and bolster it's garrison of Union troops. These were the shots that started the Civil War. The action is commemorated by a gold star on one side of the Band of Gold, the ring that Citadel Graduates earn.

I’ve never been on a college campus so I had no clue where things would be, definitely took some time to get used to. 2. The craziest thing to me was that the barracks doors were all unlocked. We had no keys, so unless someone was in the room all of our belongings were left unattended. I hope they give their “knobs” and other cadets keys to their rooms. The food was rather subpar. I spent a lot of money on DoorDash. And the weather, 95 degrees with 90% humidity at 9am. Thank god we were inside most of the day

Tuition is on Google, which has increased from 24k when I was there a year (2014-2018), to around 36k/yr this year. My cousin is a knob this year. Knob tuition is higher than Soph-Snr due to having to pay for all the uniforms you have to acquire. State pays about 8% of funding needs, the rest is provided by donors and alumni.

In state is around 12,000 and out of state is about almost 30

I was about to go here for college and enlisted in the Marines instead in the early 2010s. Glad I just enlisted tbh and actually got to have the full military experience. At least I got hazed and fucked with by people with experience.

I’ll never understand how cadets/midshipmen get hazed by their peers. Like these upperclassmen act like drill instructors. I could never take someone that’s like a year older than me seriously vs a 12 year GySgt Sergeant Instructor. It just does not compare

Charleston PD only hires from here. I'm a college grad with a degree in CJ and experienced in Security and Corrections. Went to an interview and was told I didn't have the experience they wanted. I told them oh ok but you are sitting here interviewing these kids who haven't even graduated yet😂🤔 interesting. I told them thanks for wasting my time.

As a mom of a fourth year cadet, and this years Regimental Deputy Commander, I can tell you that knob year was awfully hard… but he has learned he has no limits to what he can endure. He has learned to manage his time, his work and people. He has had a whole world opened to him of mentorship and opportunities. It’s a challenging environment but it creates principled leaders in the end.

I had to turn up the volume because I couldn't hear the people giving instructions. I yell louder than these cadets to my patients while I scan them so they stay still. There is nothing stressful about this.
