Cerena,
What are you in grad school for and where did you attend undergrad?

Hi Josh,

I'm in grad school.  I lived on campus in college and live here at home for
grad school.  I've done quite well taking in-class courses.  I have to take
2 online this summer.  We'll see how they go.

As far as the wheelchair factor, I suppose the practicality of living on
campus would depend on your reason for using a wheelchair.  Although I'm not
a wheelchair user myself, one of my sighted friends from college is.  He
lived on campus ... His using a wheelchair never stopped him!  He's quite
mature and approachable.  If you have any specific wheelchair-related
questions, I'm sure he'd be happy to answer them, either through me or
possibly directly.

Serena

Hi all,
I'm a little curious here, what do people think on this? For us
blind students who are about to graduate from high school soon
(I'm a junior this year and will be a senior next) college is
something some of us look into.  So, my question: Do people think
that online college is more accessible for blind people, or
classroom instruction? If I may ask, what have people's
experiences been with both? What about a person who is blind and
partially in a wheelchair such as myself, could I manage in an
on-campus environment or would online instruction be better for
me?
Thanks so much,
Josh
