Info in This Veterans Report on College of the Atlantic:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 7 GI Bill® students at College of the Atlantic. Because the school enrolls 358, nearly 2.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
