Hi, I'm looking into the University of Colorado Boulder, and as an aspiring military person, I want a college that's military friendly. Can anyone share their experience or knowledge about this?
University of Colorado Boulder has a good reputation for being a military-friendly institution. It offers a range of services and resources dedicated to its student veterans and military-affiliated students.
One noteworthy program is the CU Boulder Veteran Services which serves veterans, active duty military members, dependents, reservists, and the National Guard. This group assists in areas like transitioning from military to academic life, navigating VA educational benefits, and participating in career and academic workshops specially designed for veterans.
Moreover, CU Boulder has a Veterans and Military Affairs Office, which provides military-affiliated students comprehensive educational support services that enhance personal, academic, and professional success in a friendly and open environment.
Additionally, CU Boulder participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, to help with tuition and fee costs that might exceed the post-9/11 GI bill tuition benefit.
They also have a Student Veterans Organization. This group offers mentoring to incoming vets and organizes social events that foster camaraderie among members.
Just remember to reach out to the Veteran Services office to get detailed information on the resources available and to make sure you take complete advantage of the services offered.
