Time machine question for Current & past Cadets

i was torn between USAFA and Wash U in St. Lou. i didn't decide until the end of April my senior year in high school, a day or so before the deadline.

i still ask myself what life would be like if i had gone to Wash U. If i could keep my experiences i might switch just to see what it would have been like. otherwise though, i've loved my four years here, the good and the bad. i've had some amazing opportunities for the better and for the worse and wouldn't exchange any of them. but as always, this place fit me. i do not think i would have thrived as much at Wash U, although i know i would have loved it (and continued to play football!) its one of those things you just have to go with and not have regrets.
 
I have always wanted to attend USAFA, ever since elementary school. So when the appointment came the University of Washington AFROTC was never a serious consideration, though I did think about the lifestyle differences. As a fourth class cadet, I now frequently think about the lifestyle differences. But I would never seriously consider leaving the Academy for somewhere else, just because there is too much to look forward to both here and afterward.
