I really enjoy most parts about West Point and I look forward to commissioning as an army officer! However, in the upper division classes in the major, instructors are amazing and passionate about the subject. You might end up with someone not that great. The academics are not too hard, but it is very hit or miss in the core classes, because the instructors are randomly assigned and you don't get to choose. I have been able to publish my research in well known journals and conduct research alongside experts professors in the field I hope to pursue graduate school. There are also endless opportunities (both during the semester and summer), especially if you want to get involved with research as an undergraduate.
The people here are mainly what makes it worth it-I've made friends that I know will last a lifetime.
Junior: Even though the past year has been tough because of COVID restrictions, I have had overall a pretty good time at West Point. #1 Best Colleges with No Application Fee in America
