<p>I'm currently Active Duty in DC right now but I've been accepted to CCNY for Spring '11 and my enlistment is up in February.</p>
<p>I have earned 100% of the 9/11 GI Bill and so that is all squared away. My only question is about getting the DD 214 in time to the VA and the school.</p>
<p>** My biggest question is housing. If you're a current student where did you find housing? Is the Towers worth it? My benefit allots for ~$2,800 a month for living expenses. Anyone need a roommate? </p>
<p>Tower is too expensive.
I would recommend looking housing close to CCNY. You can visit CCNY’s student housing. I can provide the information later (within this week).</p>
<p>The first question - I have no idea. I can ask my veteran classmates. Your best bet, however, is to call the VA affairs at CCNY directly.</p>
<p>Good lord the 9/11 GI bill is amazing. I graduated three years ago from CCNY and the living expenses were only $750 back then…</p>
<p>I lived in the towers for a year. Made a few good friends but mostly hated it and got my own place as soon as I could. You’re bringing in more than enough money tax free to find your own place. That’s what I would do. </p>
<p>Also get to know the key people at the financial aid office. They tend to screw up vet’s paperwork a lot and you’ll probably be in their office once or twice a semester. It will make things more smooth if you have a relationship with them and they know who you are personally.</p>
