For example, completion rates of nontraditional students are 33.7% (New, 2014), and for student veterans there are additional barriers to completing their college degree. Despite a variety of obstacles, veterans who were active duty after September 2001 have college completion rates of 51% (Cate, 2014). With this in mind, this exploratory study examined student veterans from Western Oregon University (WOU) overall wellbeing (moods, satisfaction with life, social integration) in association with the campus services and culture.
