[Blind-international-students] Good Countries in which to Study

[Anmol Bhatia]

Hello Justin,
Welcome to the list.
To answer your question I have had blind friends who went to Costa Rica as a part of study abroad program and really enjoyed it.
I think you are on the NABS mailing list so perhaps you may want to post a message on that. I think there is someone on the list who spent a summer in Spain as part of their college educational program. Also you should go to Mobility International USA's webcite
www.miusa.org
This is a international clearing house for people with disabilities who are seeking international opportunities and they have alot of resources available.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

take care
 
Anmol

Hello,

I am an American student who just joined this list.  I want to study abroad, but I need help finding the right country and school that will be able to provide the right services for me.  I am studying Spanish, math, and economics.  Does anybody have any countries or schools that they would like to recommend to me?  

The staff at my university are strictly warning me that other countries rarely take care of their blind people.  I would like to believe that they are wrong, so please give me any information that you have.

A Spanish-speaking country would be nice, but I really don't care where I go as long as I can study abroad.

Thank you!

Justin Salisbury
