[nabs-l] Making the college decision

[Mausam Mehta]

Hi all,

I hope this time of late night Starbucks runs, final exams, and overall mayhem isn't too excruciating. Luckily it will soon be over, and we can spend time relaxing and recuperating over the holidays.
Halfway through my senior year of high school, I'm up to my ears in transcripts, college applications and scholarships. I know that choosing the right college is unique to everyone, and many different factors go into that final decision for the next four years. I also know that as a blind student, it takes a little extra consideration and research to find a place that can meet all of our needs. I wanted to get your opinions and experiences with choosing your colleges. What did you take into consideration when applying, and then picking your school of choice? Did you encounter any preliminary pitfalls with disability offices? Should I be looking out for any specific land mines?
Thanks, and have a great wrap-up to your fall semester.
