are you allowed to go home on weekends? since i live so close and all i was just wondering if i can visit a bit more often then leaves

It depends upon what privileges you have for the weekend. If you have a pass you can be gone overnight on the weekend. If you have OPP's (Off Post Privileges) you can go into NYC for the day but cannot be gone overnight. If you only have walking privileges you are limited to Highland Falls and the immediate vicinity - there are specific boundaries you will be given.

America's Finest - please correct me if I am wrong.

You will only have one pass per semester as a Plebe. You will be able to earn additional ones by doing things such as getting a 300 on your APFT. Most companies have 2 per semester limit on the amount of passes a Plebe may take (including earned passes).

Off Post Privileges require you to return before TAPS and remain within a 75 mile radius of the campus. Plebes are not authorized OPPs but usually receive them once or twice a year for a special occasion (we were authorized to use them on Veteran's Day weekend this year).

Basically, no, you will be limited to the same amount of time to go home as anyone else. The only difference is it will be more convenient for you to get home. You can have your family visit you anytime though.
