Researchers point to several obstacles in higher education that can impact student veterans. For some, learning to seek help when needed is often a challenge. Student veterans may feel they must live up to a false expectation and not burden others with their problems, and have indicated challenges with interactions with faculty and difficulty with disability accommodations. Other researchers suggest that student veterans struggle with being more mature, being impatient with their traditional-age civilian student peers, and having a student life that is less structured than military life. Texas State University has had success with creating and implementing a learning frameworks course for student veterans and military-connected students. Course evaluations and feedback have been extremely positive as student veterans have indicated they have become more self-directed learners with the tools to persist in college, doing so in a way that is focused on their needs inside and outside the classroom, and both on and off-campus.
