[nagdu] guide dog school problem

[L Gwizdak]

It would be good to learn the campus without the dog, relax and take your 
classes and try to get on class next summer.

It can just be too much to try to learn a college campus AND get adjusted to 
working a guide dog who also does not know the campus.
