[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of layman may not know Penn either so I would put little weight on what your average person thinks. We live in VA and people love UVA. I don’t think I have met anyone who had a kid attend naval academy or west point. [/quote] Everyone! This is not a decision your kid (or you) should make based on what others may thing. [b]They either want to commit to be in the military 5 years after graduation, or they don't.[/b] They either want the structured, scheduled life of a cadet, or they want the life of a traditional college student. "Prestige" should not be #1 on their list of whether or not to do this, but yes, many people think of them as prestigious. Comparing to Emory or Georgetown sounds silly and is apples/oranges. If interested, I suggest visiting one and ideally attending one of their camps.[/quote] It may be more like 8 years, with 5 years being the active duty requirement. [/quote]
