Veterans Who Go Back To School Want More Support

Veterans Who Go Back To School Want More Support

Enrollment of veterans is surging at America's college campuses, but as a group they don't feel supported and understood, according to a national survey.

Researchers with the National Survey of Student Engagement interviewed nearly 11,000 student veterans who were first-year students or seniors at four-year schools. The veterans reported interacting less with their instructors than did classmates who had not enlisted, and they were less likely to partake in educational opportunities such as internships or study abroad.
