Currently stationed in Florida and considering going to college after my service ends. I would appreciate any recommendations for military colleges in the state.
Absolutely, there are several options in Florida for military-affiliated students like you.First, you have the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, which is recognized for its aeronautical programs. Many students here are veterans or active military and the university is noted for its ROTC program.
The University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville is another option. While not a strictly military institution, UF does have a strong ROTC program and is recognized as a military-friendly school. It offers a good deal of resources for its veteran and military-affiliated students.
Another notable mention is the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa. USF is also recognized as a military-friendly institution and offers a variety of resources for veterans.
Lastly, there's Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee. FSU is home to a large and active student veteran community and provides extensive support, including a dedicated Veterans Student Union and a specialized department for veteran services.Each of these schools provides services tailored for veterans and military personnel to aid with the transition to civilian and campus life. It can be beneficial to reach out to each school to learn more about their specific programs and services for military-affiliated students.
