A four year military academy in Connecticut. Exists but only to some. Consitently ranked as the worst dorms and most unhappy students in the the nation. Class of 2010 doesn't care and is hoorah about life here.
Class of 2007: I hate being at the Coast Guard Academy.
Class of 2010: I love this place, shining shoes and brass on Friday Nights Rocks!
