MHCC is great for vets

I was in the Army for five years as an IT Specialist. Deciding to go to Mt. Hood Community College was not that hard of a decision after talking with multiple colleges.  The vet department here was the most friendly and informative. They don’t push you but they do inform you and walk you through the steps. Most of the other colleges were not nearly as friendly and many of them didn’t have the information I was looking for, nor did they know how to find it.

Starting off right away into college is a bit scary, but having the classes with other military members has helped out in the transition process. I am also a single parent. I have not noticed any judgment but I also don’t pay attention to others’ opinions. Being a single mom, having a great support system from the vet’s office, and transition process (at) MHCC has been great for us. MHCC is a great place to start your new life as a civilian student.
