Did a bit of looking around and spotted Long Island Military College. Is this a viable option after high school? If there is anyone with some info, I would appreciate it.
I'm afraid there might be a confusion. Currently, there isn't an institution named "Long Island Military College." It's quite possible that you might have come across the Long Island University's Military and Veteran Services, which provides assistance to veterans and active military personnel transitioning to college, but it's not a dedicated military college per se.
If you are looking for military colleges or service academies, you might consider the United States Military Academy (often referred to as West Point), the United States Naval Academy, or the United States Air Force Academy, among others. These are highly competitive and prestigious institutions that not only provide a rigorous academic experience but also comprehensive military training.
On the other hand, if you are interested in both higher education and military service but don't want to commit to a military academy right after high school, you might also consider ROTC programs. These programs are offered by numerous colleges and universities across the country, including some in New York, and provide military training alongside your regular college experience.
In any case, continue to research and gather information on the different options available to you. The choice between traditional college, a military academy, or ROTC program can depend on many personal factors including your long-term career goals, your interest in military service, and your readiness for the commitment that military programs entail.
