<p>The new GI Bill is fantastic. There is no way I would have ever been able to go to an expensive school California’s UC system without it. I dont even have to work anymore because the housing allowance is more than enough to cover my monthly expenses. Not to mention I have a college fund kicker that adds 850 dollars a month to my housing allowance. I go to UC San Diego for free (normally about 10,000 a year), books paid for, and a monthly housing allowance of 2870 a month. What else could one really ask for? I live better than most my friends, and I dont have to work. I just go to school. Yea!!!</p>
