Calling all vets
Just a heads up if you're a veteran. The GI Bill was completed overhauled as of august 1st. Now they pay even more money for college AND give you a housing allowance based on the zip code of your college. It's the BAH equiv of an E-5 with dependents. It's how I was able to get out of shithole, AR and back to boston.
It's well worthwhile to take advantage of. Get your damn degree. |

It's great if you're in a position to take face-to-face classes. If your classes are all online, you don't qualify for the BAH and you end up getting less cash than with the previous Chapter 30 GI Bill. Since I'm in Germany and am working on 300 and 400 level class, none of them are available locally, which means all of my remaining classes will be online. With the current GI Bill, they give me cash and then I pay my tuition. I get more cash than tuition costs me. Under the new plan, they just pay the college directly.
The new plan is great, but not for everyone. Just saying, do your homework first. Once you change to the new plan, you can't change back.
