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.

nah that's about even. They're different because to even see a civilian face at AFA requires a pass..... well you've been there, you can't just hike out to town and come back (Annapolis is the king of doing that, then WP, then AFA). What you wanna do is save up some money for a few weeks (or a lot of weeks) then hop on a train to the city, so you don't have to borrow a car. I forget how the details work, but people there obviously know how to do it, and it makes sense. Anyway it's not like you'll have free time, anyway, so it's a moot point, but [i]it can be done[/i] on the cheap, especially junior-senior year when you're banking a lot more cash. Trying to do anything in your first year is pointless and stupid, just be a plebe.
