“why flagler” from a military veteran “The peaceful and pristine campus, and the dedicated, compassionate faculty and staff give equally remarkable impressions from the very moment any military veteran steps aboard Flagler.

Every veteran can rest assured that he or she will be treated with the utmost respect, and everyone they meet will be easy to talk to, knowledgeable and helpful throughout their time on campus as a Flagler student.”
