[quote=Anonymous]I know it takes a special kid to want to attend and then get admitted to a national service academy. Once there, though, is there any semblance of a "college experience" or is it such a different track that this doesn't even factor in or worse yet is it such doom and gloom until graduation? I guess I was surprised to hear that my neighbor's son a freshman (plebe?) can't even leave the campus (base?) without getting permission and that permission is not readily or often granted. It comes as no surprise that this freshman also cannot drink or date on campus but I'm told he even has to follow regulations on not talking outside of class and how to walk and even how to eat (as in ways to chew, where to look, etc.). Given all of this is there any possible way for someone there to have happy and memorable college type moments? My DD is currently going through the application process and I just want her to go in with eyes wide open.[/quote]
