USAFA is an amazing school with even better opportunities within the confines of campus and especially beyond. As an alumni, there isn't a day that goes by that the benefits of being a graduate from one of the most prestigious institutions in the world are unnoticed. Along with anything else, do your homework and realize what you're getting into!

The U.S. Air Force Academy offers top notch education, with the best teacher availability in my opinion. Our facilities are traditional, but are undergoing renovations. We have a club that fits everyone's interest. And our Honor Code makes my institution the best college in the U.S.

I am currently a senior here with the job I wanted and around 100 days left. I HATE this place. One of the worst decisions of my life. This school is run by perminate party that only cares about public image( professors are the only good ones). If you want to feel like you wasted 4 years of your life this is the place for you
