Hoping this forum will help give me some advice, but I know I just have to make the choice myself. I am having to decide between UNC Chapel Hill, and The USCGA and here's where I am at. My brother is a 2022 grad from the academy, and ever since he attended it has been somewhat of a dream to go. I attended AIM this past year and that made me unsure of my goal to go to the academy. But, it's been a couple of months, and I still applied and am now having to make the decision. I am completely lost and on one front want a normal civilian life at UNC where I can make my own decisions, graduate debt free (due to its affordability and my father saving money for my education), and ultimately have a normal college experience; on the other front, life at the academy seems interesting and exciting: the pick of majors, the bond you form with your shipmates, and the opportunities after. All of that said, I was wondering if anyone was in a similar situation and had advice.
