Info in This Veterans Report on Susquehanna:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 33 GI Bill® students at Susquehanna. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,120, roughly 1.6% of the students are 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). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
