Whether you're already in school or are thinking about attending from some dirty patrol base in Afghanistan, you should think about the getting involved with veterans organizations on the national or local level.
These groups, like the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and the Student Veterans of America (SVA), are useful tools for making contacts, gaining information, and also hanging out with other veterans around your area. Check out the SVA website and you can find out how to get a hold of people via email and phone. They can answer questions about their particular school and help you make a better choice.
IAVA is also a good networking tools and their website offers a lot of resources if you're curious about benefits, important laws, or social events nearby.
What I really like about these sites is they help you understand how much people want to help out veterans. It's easy to lose sight of this in the day-to-day struggle of schoolwork, family problems, paying bills, and all the rest. Remember there are a lot of people out there who care about our success and want to assist in any way. No veteran should go it alone.
