Accommodations to the military veterans here is a good thing going for UH. I know there are improvements that would help. I would like to see veteran shuttles for the physically challenged, and able students to all campuses. There would be some work to do for coordinating and organizing such program. This can provide employment for the public, and veterans as a win-win situation.

although some things have been done to accomadate, vets and active duty military, college credit for MOS training is hard to transfer to college credit ,most military training is hands on, so most (mos) training is not college level study. Also what services do any U of H school offer for homeless vets attending school ,if they even acknowledge that they exist? Veterans have special needs and most have never attended school(college) or haven’t been in school outside of military training since high school for some that may be over 20yrs, it can be very ackward to sit in a class where you’re older than the professor and all your new classmates.
