It graduates us as only 2nd lewies. Should be Generals.

West Point has perhaps the most approachable and accessible faculty in the country. There are incredible academic and extra-curricular activities at West Point, and opportunities after graduation rival the top Ivy Leagues. Great school, though it is certainly challenging and stressful
