Which college would you rather go to?

So (with the help of God) I recently received appointments to the Air Force Academy and West Point. I know that West Point has more history and tradition but the Air Force academy seems so much more cool. I think the campus and location are better in Colorado Springs than New York. However the opportunity available after doing the required years of service would probably be better at West Point because of its reputation.

The Air Force seems much more modern and cool (for lack of a better term).

West Point seems more arbitrarily traditional but might eventually pay off.

Which one would you rather attend?

    The Air Force Academy may have more modern architecture, but the military discipline and traditions are going to be similar at either school. But if you'd rather go to the Air Force Academy, then do it. That's what I would do.

    The Air Force has traditionally been a better choice for officers with families. The Army has its own advantages. See link below for some pros and cons.

    It depends on the lifestyle you want afterwards. If you want a relatively normal life, air force is undoubtedly the way to go.
