[nabs-l] An additional question about selecting university

[David]

Hi. Personally, I wouldn't base my university decision on whether I will be
subject to prejudice, unless the environment has a strong reputation for
extreme prejudice against blind people. You should go to the university that
feels right for you. I really don't think that the size of the city will
make a whole lot of difference, but I suppose that in a small town, more
people will see you, and become used to seeing a blind person. However, in a
larger city, there is a more diverse population, so you may not stand out as
much. Best of luck to you.

Hi all!

As I told you some time ago, I'm currently choosing a university to
study a Master's Degree. I have to think about it carefully, since I'm
going to spend two years there. So far, I have been offered admision
in the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. According to what I've
been searching, that city is small and rural.
I also have university optiones at Gainesville, Tampa, Dekalb, and
philadelphia; but I'm still waiting for them to answer.
Here is the question:
Acorrding to your experience, do you think that people with
disabilities are likely to be better received in big cities than in
small ones?
Are we more exposed to prejudices in small cities?

Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions!
