[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My co-worker's son who started at West Point in June is already calling it quits. To be fair, my co-worker's DH pushed the kid into it. A cautionary tale for any future academy attendee. You (as opposed to mom and dad) really need to want this path. And the academy experience does not provide a typical college experience.[/quote] Absolutely agree - they tell you that multiple times in the admissions process, but some parents still push. There is absolutely attrition at the Service Academies - at USMA they start with about 1200 per class and graduate about 1000. Some leave by choice but others are involuntarily separated for academics or misconduct. Not sure how that compares to civilian colleges. [/quote]
