Hi all, I will be starting school in Massachusetts in the fall, and have a question for Massachusetts blind students. My vocational rehabilitation counselor just told me that I should maybe look into opening a VR case in Massachusetts, but I would like to know a bit more information about the services they offer. For example, I would like to compare their college sponsorship to Michigan’s. In Michigan, vocational rehabilitation pays for 75% of roo room and board, and for the first two years they pay community college tuition rates. for junior and senior year, they pay the highest in-state public tuition,   the University of Michigan right now. Can anyone tell me how Massachusetts policies compare? How supportive and helpful is VR in Massachusetts generally?
 Thanks! Julia.
