definately go with the age that you find comfortable. i can see the schools
point though, a student already on campus is not going to be late because of
traffic, children, etc. that goes with an older person from off campus.
there might be other advantages that i am not thinking of. but you need to
feel comfortable.

Subject: Personal Care Assistants
How do you guys go about finding people to help you with personal care?
I'll be going to college next fall, and will need someone to help me. I
don't need constant care, just someone to stop by in the morning and evening
for an hour max each time. I've never had a PA before... my parents
basically filled that position ; ) I have no clue where to start looking.
I did a web search, but could only find aides that deal with the elderly.
The colleges I'm looking at all suggest hiring other students. I'd rather
have someone older help me... I feel like having someone my own age would be
awkward, since we would have classes together and share friends. I'd
appreciate information on your experiences and the best way to go about
this.
