I attend Western Michigan University and I LOVE it here. Before you ask, YES, I grew up in Michigan, but when I graduate I plan to move away from the snow. And YES, I have served 20+ years in the Army and am currently in the National Guard while in college. When I graduate, I really hope to gain admission to Texas A&M University. I have heard that Texas A&M has an excellent Graduate and PhD. program in the field of Military History, and I want in. The granting of the title or ranking of being "Military & Veteran Friendly" depends upon who is making the choices. I tend to trust the literature related to and produced by the military. As they are the ones with the people looking to go to school, and they will profit from that education. I still LOVE Western Michigan University, but I guess I'm biased, and NOT because I'm from Michigan. When I was ready to go to college, Michigan State an the University of Michigan both told me that I would have to go thru the same process as a "traditional Freshman". Sorry, NOT happening. I have spilled blood for this nation, and I'm a bit old to go around playing games like some 18 year old fresh out of high school. On the other hand, if not for their attitudes, I never would have found WMU and become the student I am today. I will be PROUD to say I went to WMU, no matter where I go from here, because this university, from Dr. Dunn, the WMU resident, all the way down, WMU care for their students, we are not just numbers.
