[Nfbc-info] Question Regarding Possible Trade School OfInterest, Heald College

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

we have one in Fresno and I am not aware of any blind students attending. 
You would probably do better going to a community college where you can pay 
much less money andreceive services. Many of the private vocational schools 
fall short when it comes to delivering job placement for their grads.
