Hi folks, I'm in the process of looking at colleges and am particularly interested in those based in Dallas, TX that are military-friendly. Do any of you have recommendations or personal experiences to share? Thanks for any help you can give!
Sure thing, glad to help.
In the Dallas, Texas area, you have a couple of robust options that are known for being supportive of military students:
1. Southern Methodist University (SMU): At SMU, military and veteran students are offered many advantages. The school participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, and they have a Veterans Upward Bound program which provides intense preparatory education with the goal of enrollment and completion of a postsecondary education program.
2. University of North Texas at Dallas (UNTD): UNTD has been recognized for its military-friendly environment. They have a dedicated Veteran Success Center which provides academic and financial guidance specifically for veterans, and they also participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
3. Dallas College: Dallas College (formerly known as Dallas County Community College District) is noted for its efforts to support military students. They offer tuition assistance to those who qualify and also have specific academic advising for veteran students.
Remember, each of these institutions may provide different levels of support, depending on your specific needs, so you should reach out to them and learn about their specific programs and services. It's important to find a fit not only academically, but also in terms of the support you'll receive as a military student.
Good luck in your college search!
