[nagdu] Question about the Ins and Outs of the Seeing Eye

[keri]

Ok I'll reply to this. It is good and important you do find the right school 
for you. I'm currently going through the seeing eye application process. I 
like the way seeing eye structures their program, and the after services 
they can provide as well. I visited the campus when I took part in the Sesy 
program that they offer to high school students when I was a senior. I got 
to meet some of the instructors, and some of their dogs. I also got to see 
what the campus was like. this really helped in my decition.
