Abstract

An increase in student veterans on campuses creates issues similar to the growing population of other nontraditional students, yet unique experiences for this population. Although higher education environments are working to provide on-campus support for military populations, student veterans continue to report issues with communication, understanding, and support for their military service. This study investigated student veteran experiences of the higher education classroom on a southeastern university campus. Overall, the majority of participants reported positive interactions with professors but struggled with peers and schedules. Included are implications for working with student veterans in higher education.
