My father was a liason officer for the USAFA. The campus is gorgeous. The standards are high and the investment in their students is huge. 10 years ago is was about $275k per student. I think it's about $350k per student now. That is the US Air Force's investment in every cadet for four years of training. Based on what a friend of mine who just graduated in May they are expecting almost every graduate to fly. One must actually write a letter requesting not to go to flight training at this point and time. It probobly ranks 2nd or 3rd behind West Point (1st) in Military Academies but it ranks in the top 1% of all US universities. If you have the opportunity to go there consider it a blessed opportunity.
