I'm attending CSULB.  Actually, today is the first day of class.  Having a
large student body can be overwhelming at first, but eventually, (like
everything else), you fit in.  I like the campus and the professors are
very understanding to your needs.  The first week or so is hard and I
expect to be sending out a lot of email to my instructors at introducing
myself and letting them know that I can do the work, but that is all the
fun in a day.  Their Disabled Student Services is excellent.  Whenever I
have a problem in a class, they will settle the matter with my
instructors.  CSULB has the most disable students on campus in CA.  I think
it's 1500.  Very few are in wheelchairs (like myself).  Most of them have
some learning disability.   It's a great school.  I was accepted to Cal
State Fullerton (which also have good support), and Cal Polly.  I ended up
going to CSULB because they had more benefits for me.  Again their DSS is
excellent.

I'm a communication major.
