Inside This Veterans Report on WSC:
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 99 GI Bill® students at WSC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,041, nearly 3.3% of students 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.

Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Contact WSC to find out if it grants credit for life experience, CLEP/standardized exams, or other prior learning.
