by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about William James College veteran students to help you make your college decision.

What’s Covered in Our Report on William James College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 37 GI Bill® students at William James College. Given that enrollment at the school is 36, about 102.8% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
