Veterans are charged the same tuition rate as all students and there is no instate or out of state tuition differential.

Yes. Your BAH rate is E-5 with dependents and is prorated by your full-time or part-time status as a student. Monthly housing allowance rates are Federally regulated and can change year to year. Use the BAH calculator tool at http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm and use 10011 as the duty zip code.
