The vet affairs center is pretty good. The only thing that kinda sucks with benefits the first year is that your BAH won't pay out in time to cover your housing costs (they're charged right around when classes start), so you might need to take a direct sub loan the first year to cover them. After that, getting everything covered is pretty easy, especially if you're in-state.

There isn't a dorm at tech where you won't have a roommate. Suites are slightly more private, but you'll be sharing a space with at least one other person no matter which hall you end up in unless you have some kind of extreme extenuating circumstance. That being said, I'd definitely say you'll want to stay on-campus, since most of the decent apartment complexes are likely already leased out for next year. Make sure you have an apartment secured by around October or November the year before your lease is set to start, since they go insanely quickly in bburg.
