The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is situated on a classic New England college campus:

• White-columned red brick halls blend with sleek modern architecture
• Monuments to history stand alongside state-of-the-art technology
• Stately grounds highlight handsome landscaping and open spaces
• Rolling hills offer sweeping views of water and sky

The view from campus frequently includes Coast Guard vessels in port, such as the Cutter Eagle, the only tall ship in America's active forces. Visitors to the Eagle often wait in long lines for the opportunity to walk her decks.

Notably, the Coast Guard Academy is a regular stop for tour groups, which come to see the sights of a U.S. service academy where the nation's future leaders are trained and educated.
