“The university has outstanding benefits for service members and the Military and Veterans Office provides excellent guidance on veteran-specific services. Some of my best experiences at GW were in the short-term study abroad programs I participated in. They exposed me to countries I would have never imagined I would work in and taught me how to operate on the international stage.”
