From U.S. Veterans Magazine: “Transitioning from military service to civilian life is no small feat, and for many veterans, stepping into the world of higher education can feel like entering a whole new battlefield … One of the biggest hurdles veterans face when starting school is adjusting to a less rigid structure. In the military, schedules are strict, responsibilities are clear, and teamwork is second nature. In college, however, students must manage their own time, choose their own classes, and often work independently. This shift can be overwhelming, especially for those who have spent years operating in a highly structured environment.”
