[Blindtlk] Grad School

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hello, Zeeshan,
	My name is Jasmine, and I am a college student.  I am going 
for my Bachelor's degree and teaching credential.  I would 
definitely recommend that you go to Grad School, but I'm not 
sure if I would take the online approach.  Everyone has 
their own experiences with online classes, but the one I had 
was very hard.  Not that the work was difficult, but the 
program that was used was not always stable.  I definitely 
like the on-campus part of school, though.  You get to know 
your peers and teachers better that way, and you can ask a 
teacher a question and get immediate answers, unlike sending 
emails.  It does depend on your preference, transportation, 
and daily schedule.
Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Jasmine

Hi everyone,

So lately I have been thinking about goign to Grad School, 
actually I had
applied 3 years ago but was not accepted due to my low gmat 
scores as I did
not have proper accommodations at the testing site.  Anyways, as 
all of you
are probably aware, going ot school for a blind person is much 
much
different nad challenging than for a sighted individual.  So I 
have been
giving to school online some thought as well but I am not too 
sure about it
because there are schools online for a Masters program but I 
don't know how
well they work out for us blind people as you still have to worry 
about
being able ot read hte textbooks and all the materials, which can 
take
quiet some time to read.  So my thing is, what would you guys 
think be a
better option , going to school online or going to a physical 
location.
Going to a physical location has its own challenges but it brings 
a social
aspect to it that the online version cannot match.  But a 
physical location
has its own challenges which you all must know of already.  So if 
anyone of
you out there would like to share their experiences about Grad 
School, I
would love to hear them and any words of advice would be helpful.

Sincerely,
