Marilyn,
Do not choose St. Andrews! I did 1 year there in the mid '80s and had a
very bad experience. The real problem there is that the disabled students
are segregated into yet another snakepit. Interaction with the rest of
the community is seriously impeded.
I ended up transferring to Georgia Tech and was put in the meat grinder
with everybody else...I survived with TWO B.S. degrees. :-)
And, people wonder why I'm crazy. LOL!
