West point is near enough to NYC, you'll be fine. Plus you can walk into town on weekends. AFA is on like ten million thousand acres of land and it takes 15 minutes just to drive from the cadet lot to the gate (plus you had to go up/down a mountain just to reach the lot in the first place)

Except plebes get one pass a semester and $250 a month. Which means NYC is kind of rare for leave, at least in the first few years.

I went to the AFA summer seminar (didn't get in, weirdly enough) and it was a beautiful campus. Isolated on its hill and not much of a base to speak of. They might get more leave than me.
