<DIV class=plainMail>Thank you, Anmol and David, for your responses. I have thoroughly discussed my desires with our study abroad coordinators at my university. Though East Carolina has partnerships with universities in many different countries, they haven't been very helpful in terms of helping me search and giving me advice about blindness in other countries. All that I got from them is that I need to look at schools in England and Australia. I am definitely interested in the countries that each of you named. Would you mind finding out which universities your friends attended in these other countries and/or help me get in touch with them? If you could, it would be a tremendous help to me so that I won't have to contact every individual school in these other countries.<BR><BR>Thank you!<BR><BR>Justin Salisbury<BR><BR>Justin M.
