Rating 5 out of 5
Much more than just a college. This institution takes in kids and graduates competent leaders. It's not for everyone, but the academics are top tier, with access to well funded research, semesters abroad, and military training and education. USMA maintains a professional standard not found at other schools like the US Naval Academy or Air Force Academy.

Be prepared to work, in all aspects, physically, mentally, and academically. Your experience here will be hard and frustrating but you will be better for it, in all ways. You will be challenged everyday here and that should hopefully prepare you for the job you will be required to do once you graduate.

The academy is unlike any civilian college but will teach you the characteristics to be the best version of yourself everyday.
