What should I expect when I get to Tuskegee University?
One of the first things that will happen when you arrive is NSO (New Student Orientation. NSO is a two day process where new Midshipmen will learn about how TUNROTC works as well as receive all necessary gear associated with the program.
What are the requirements of a Midshipmen?

Do I have to go to bootcamp?
The short answer is no. The closest thing that NROTC program offers compared to "bootcamp" is New Student Indoctrination (NSI). NSI is where new Midshipmen travel to Naval Station Great Lakes. Here Midshipmen will go through an expeditious training program that teaches new comers the basics of military protocol and professionalism.
How many hours of NROTC activities are there during the average week?
Overall, this entirely depends on the Midshipmen command structure to both schedule and execute events. The events will vary with each week but for the most part the events will take place at times that work around Midshipmen's academics.
Can I participate in other extracurriculars found around campus?
Absolutely. One of the perks of coming to a university such as Tuskegee is the abundant opportunities that are offered at school.

At the end of the day the whole point of you being here is to commission as a Naval Officer.
