Info in This Veterans Report on Middlesex County College:
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 110 GI Bill® students at Middlesex County College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 8,321, approximately 1.3% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. About 0.9% of the student body at Middlesex County College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
