If our junior officers all went to Civilian Universities across the country we'd have much more diversity of thought and outlook within the officer corps.
Finally if you are going to have toddlers (second to fourth year cadets) having oversight over babies (first year cadets) then you'd better have the adults (Lt(N) and Capts) have a very tight grip on their actions.
Caveat - I never went to RMC but my opinions are based on many conversations with RMC Alumni.

What's the best practice worldwide? In my experience almost every group accused of being arrogant are so because they in fact are better than the rest. Now that's not great for leadership perhaps as being the best doesn't help if your men frag you. I guess being able to relate to everyone would improve in your view? Do officers who go to civilian and especially non elite universities like Lakehead or something have better realtions with their subordinates? Anecdotal evidence accepted.
