I've been thinking about the military as an option after high school and keep hearing about West Point. Can someone tell me exactly where it's located?
The United States Military Academy, which is usually referred to as West Point (after its location), is based in West Point, New York. Nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley region, the academy is about 50 miles north of New York City. West Point is renowned for its rigorous academic and physical training, so keep in mind that service commitment follows graduation. If you're considering a military pathway, it's definitely an excellent option, provided you're prepared for the challenge.
