Hey guys, I'm a junior right now and honestly feeling a bit stressed with all the college and life decisions. I've been looking into the military, but still want to go to college. I'm from San Diego, are there any colleges around here that are known to be military-friendly? Thanks in advance.
San Diego is a city with a strong military presence, and many colleges in the area have programs specifically for military students. Here are some colleges worth considering:
1. San Diego State University (SDSU): SDSU has been recognized as a top school for veterans and active-duty military members. They offer scholarships specifically for military personnel and have an on-campus Veterans Center that assists students with benefits and offers a space for studying and networking.
2. University of San Diego (USD): USD is another school recognized for their efforts to serving military students. The school offers a Military and Veterans program, providing holistic support services to military-affiliated students, such as transition assistance, benefit counseling, and academic support.
3. National University (NU): NU offers flexible class schedules and online courses designed to accommodate the needs of military students. Their Veteran Center provides comprehensive student support services to military-connected students who are transitioning in their academic and professional pursuits.
4. Point Loma Nazarene University: Point Loma operates a Veteran Student Services office that aids in certifying VA benefits, offers Yellow Ribbon Program scholarships which can cover a big portion of tuition, and provides several resources for veteran students.
These schools understand the unique needs of military students, provide resources, and offer programs to assist in your transition from military service to college education. Remember to explore each institution's pathway for military students to see which one aligns best with your needs and goals. Good luck!
