Five years ago, after being TWE'd by USMA and USNA, my DS had the choice of attending an SMC or a local state school.
He ultimately chose a "normal" college experience because he saw his older siblings enjoy their regular schools. There were no regrets and he balanced academics, Army ROTC, and being a snowboard instructor during his four years at his university. He truly loved his four years of college. He is now a 2LT at Armor school and has no regrets about not reapplying to the SA's.
But that was him, you must choose for yourself.
Don't end up with regret decades from now wondering "what if." Choose what will make you happy, not your parents.
This is really a great story to hear...every reply seems to ease my fears a little bit more
