I'm not too familiar with the location of Coast Guard Academy and always thought that CGA was close by metropolitian cities, maybe even walking distance. Is that not the case?

NYC and Boston are only a short train ride away, which is probably the only good thing about the academy being located in New London. New London is a city, just not a very good city.

Finizio said that when cadets graduate military school they proudly say, "'I went to West Point,' 'I went to Annapolis.' I want them to say, 'I went to New London.'"
Never, ever going to happen.

Yeah it'll probably be "I escaped from New London."
We can print up T-Shirts that say "I survived 4 years in New London..."
Chilis is "nice" in New London. Best part about New London is .....roads leading away from New London.
Now there is nothing special about New London...but come on, there are some beautiful places close by, you just have to be careful where you go after dark but that could be anywhere in the USA.
NL has made some significant positive changes to its downtown (near the train station) in the past 11 years that we've lived in Connecticut, there are some nice places to eat with beautiful views of the river.
There are pros and cons of the areas around all the SAs.
