In the 24th century. What do you reckon ordinary life is like? 8:00 Wake Up In London, Beam into San Francisco. Have Coffee at Local cafe. 9.00 Attend First Lesson at academy: Stellar Physics 9.45 Attend Second Lesson:Stellar History 10.30 Attend Third Lesson:Planet Surveying 11.00 2 Hours Break, Beam home, have lunch. 1.00pm:Begin Transfer shuttle to Spacedock. 1.15pm Leave Spacedock on USS Goodington: An Excelsior class starship for Vulcan at warp 9. 3 days later 1.15pm:Arive at Vulcan 1.45 Transfer to Vulcan via Shuttle 2.05:Begin third Lesson:Survival in Hostile Environment 2.55:Begin fourth lesson:Vulcan's history 3.45:Free Time 4.30:Transfer to USS Goodington via Transporter 5.00 Depart for Earth at warp 9 3 days later 5.00pm beam directly home

If we use the US Navy Academy as a reflection (sort-of) of how life would be at Starfleet Academy, I doubt anyone would be "beaming" home ... while a cadet might be able to beam home with a "shore-pass", I think cadets live in dorms/barracks ... (like we saw with Wes Crusher and Nick L.)

Wouldn't it be simply easier to use a holodeck to simulate Vulcan rather than physically going there?

Hmmm, would it be? If the Cadets were on a "survival" exercise and they knew if they got in trouble and only had to yell, "arch!" to get out, how effective would it be?
In certain situations, reality beats the holodeck, IMHO.

Assuming a four year program, I'm wondering how they fit in all the classes and training assignments they've mentioned over the years. Each class must only be a semester long, but that doesn't seem like enough to cover a topic like Comparative Xenobiology. Of course they probably don't have "Summer Breaks". They probably get a couple weeks off between years, but not a full 3 months.

As it had been often suggested, the Academy is a 4 year program, not 5...unless you happened to fail a few classes or perhaps were not taking enough classes per semester to graduate in a 4 year time span.
And I would venture to guess that only the exceptionally best cadets get sent on field duty at some time during their Academy years in place of a few classes. Though there really isn't any proof to support this.
And I really don't think every cadet has to take the same classes. There's probably a very wide selection of classes to choose from.
And Sisko was a living in the Academy dorms/barracks when he frequently transported from S.F. to N.O. for dinner. I believed he said he would frequently use up his monthly transporter passes very quickly (probably before half the month was even up).

Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot different between the various branches? I can't remember, but I distinctly recall that at least Engineering and Command Schools are separate, and that Medical might even be handled outside of the Academy.
I think it was mentioned once that at least Kirk or Scotty transferred from Command to Engineering or vice versa, and also McCoy received part of his training outside of Starfleet.

I always thought that Starfleet doctors probably went through the academy like everyone else and then went to Starfleet Medical School upon graduation. I am pretty sure that Bashirs backstory pretty much invalidated my theory though.

Or maybe it's both medical school AND the Academy in one shot. Note they don't say "the Academy" or "med school." It's always "Starfleet Medical," as if it's a specialized combined school.
And yes, I AM aware that McCoy went to Ole Miss. He may not have started out in Starfleet, though.
