Info in This Veterans Report on Buffalo State:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 149 GI Bill® students at Buffalo State. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,358, around 2.8% 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
