[nabs-l] An additional question about selecting university

[ADRIANA PULIDO]

Hi David,

I just want to clarify something: obviously, I wouldn't choose my
university based on possible prejudices against blind people. I ask
the question, first, because I've don't know the US,
 and second, because I wouldn't like to make a quick decision and then regret.

Best regards,
