[NABS-L] Do you Disclose Vision to College Roomates?

[nspohn0 at gmail.com]

Hi Roanna, 

This is an interesting point because people say that roommates are probably the people you will be the closest with in college. I also have no problem answering people's questions. I was fully sighted once, so I get what people may be thinking.

Hi Nic thanks for your message. I would definitely disclose your visual impairment to your roommates. Show them some of the equipment that you use to accomplish certain tasks. Keep in mind that most of the general public including your roommates will have questions. Answer them as honestly as possible.
