[nabs-l] Some Questions About Attending College

[Lillie Pennington]

In my opinion, I think the Braille sense would be better suited for a college student. It has drop box which I use in school as well as the ability to read excel files. For math classes, I would get nemitex if you could.

It can read many types of files, including PDF's, word files, and poerpoints. Also, unlike other notetakers, you can write nemeth symbols on the braillenote and have them come out on print, making it useful in math classes. Good luck in your college career!
