[NABS-L] Getting Acclimated to a College Campus

[Emmanuelle Lo]

Yep, walking around a lot is definitely my plan, even at the risk of getting lost. 😊

Good luck to you, or I guess good luck to both of us in this transition! ☺️

She worked with me for 3 days before and 7 days after I first came to campus, for about 2 to 3 hours. Now that I am more used to campus this year, I will probably not be needing these services.

Did your state agency hire an O&M instructor? I'm meeting with my VR counselor soon to talk about the transition to college, but I was curious to know what you've experienced.
