These are real experiences, in the words of the veterans who lived them. We’re grateful to every veteran who shared their story — and we hope it helps you picture what your own path with VUB could look like.
It was a very pleasant experience, beginning with the introduction to the program and through the time in classes. The follow-ups during my time in the program were beneficial.
I have had an excellent experience with VUB. Without VUB I would have likely not attended college again this late in life. VUB provided a prep program which helped me prepare for my first semester back to school after almost 20 years. Additionally, the staff introduced me to other veteran organizations on campus which informed me of a tuition waiver for my course of study.
