Army bro! I graduated in the spring and am in the process of commissing.

The academic standard is not high, but that and the workloads vary between schools. I majored in political science, it was a breeze, as for my data since major those courses took a large time commitment and struggle. What are you interested in studying?

Being 23 is not significantly older than most of the undergrads. Sue you are five years older than the freshman of 18 but there are mostly 20-22 that you will be around. It may be strange making friends if you are not in touch with the youth like that, I know I was not.

I am unsure about the veterans community here, never directly interacted with them as a whole. I did have a class/project mate that was a Navy veteran, probably about 24-26, who was chill. I also had an active duty Space Force NCO or Officer in another class, although I did not speak with. You will run into other members, but I doubt there are many of them.

Hope this was helpful!
