Info in This Veterans Report on Texas A&M San Antonio:
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. The VA reports that there are 982 GI Bill® students at Texas A&M San Antonio. Since the total enrollment at the school is 6,224, about 15.8% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veteran students account for 0.5% of the student body at Texas A&M San Antonio, per U.S. Department of Education data.
