What’s Covered in Our Report on University of Rochester:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 72 GI Bill® students at University of Rochester. Given that enrollment at the school is 6,488, about 1.1% of students are 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
