The Hill

From USAFA Folklore

"The Hill" is slang for the Cadet Area, specifically, the Terrazzo, dorms, and Fairchild Hall. It is often used in a pejorative sense, e.g., "The worst day at the airfield is still better than the best day on the Hill." The expression certainly arises from the location of the Cadet Area, perched as it is at the top of a hill. "The Hill" is also used by grads to refer to the Academy in general.
