“I love West Point’s tight‑knit corps, the fully covered tuition and leadership training, and how every day feels like you’re building lifelong skills, but from a past‑cadet view I’ll say the early‑morning routines, constantly regimented schedule, and the pressure of being both a student and a soldier can wear on you in ways the recruiting materials never fully prepare you for.”
