My son is at the academy and he fit in with lots of groups in high school. He was very social and “regular”. He highly considered a big SEC school because of football, social life and honestly some options for partying. There are tons of kids like him at the academy. Sometimes he does wish he was at a school with a little less rules but at the same time he knows he made the right decision. He has met great friends, has learned so much in his classes, has already traveled to Europe, and does fun things on the weekends like snowboard and visit Newport (all this in addition to his class load, his sport and his military obligations.) He’s always been a rule follower so that piece has been very easy and natural for him.Thank you! I appreciate your response. My son has wanted to serve his country since he was young and that was his driving force behind applying to the academies. He has done most of the applying and congressional nominations all on his own. Hopefully, wanting to serve and believing in the mission behind the academy will help him meet other like minded students (if that is where he lands).
Sg123- I agree with the other post that says it might be worth trying cga for a year bc you can always change your mind and go to UNC but it is much more difficult to go from UNC to CGA. And my son was similar to you- he was really split on what to do but he is very happy w/CGA.
