This study aimed to fill a gap in the literature regarding how veterans adjust to college and veterans’ experiences differ from the average nonveteran college student. One hundred seventy-seven nonveteran and 24 veteran undergraduate students completed the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ), which was used to compare military status (veteran, nonveteran) and sex (male, female), and military capacity (Active Duty, National Guard/Reserve, nonveteran) in relation to the SACQ subscales (academic, social, personal-emotional, and institutional attachment adjustment). The results of the current study were not significant. However, the results might indicate a trend in college adjustment among both nonveterans and student veterans. Future research is necessary to further assess the areas of difficulty among student veterans. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
