<p>Might I suggest the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. Smallest of the academies - annual enrollment of about 275/300 max - great engineering school - low prof/student ratio - serve your country at the end of 4 years in a non-combative mode. check it out at [United</a> States Coast Guard Academy](<a href=“http://www.uscga.edu%5DUnited”>http://www.uscga.edu) -sign up to have materials sent to you - go for a visit. Hope this helps - You can also qualify to spend a semester at anny other service academy during your 2nd Class/junior year.</p>
