<p>That is definately something to consider, and would be cool too so I could maybe go into NYC for a day or something. That may be a good idea. The only problem is the extra cost of a hotel room, etc (unless West Point will put me up in an empty barracks for a couple nights). I need to call the admissions office this week to clarify some things about where I can stay beforehand. If I can, I'd like to avoid a hotel cost. Even if they'd just give me a floor to crash on (I can bring a sleeping bag). Thanks for the advice everyone.</p>
