A family guide to life around West Point

West Point brings a distinctive vocabulary and set of experiences to the transition from home to college. Lisa Browne Joiner’s guide frames that transition from a family member’s perspective, addressing unfamiliar terms such as “Beast,” “boodle,” and Army acronyms alongside the question of how to support and encourage a cadet over the four years at the United States Military Academy. Its subject is the family’s adjustment as well as the cadet’s departure, making it a practical reference point for understanding this particular college experience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and family members preparing for a student’s transition to the United States Military Academy
  • Those seeking an introduction to West Point terminology and the family’s role in supporting a cadet
