That's interesting, I haven't found curb cuts to be a problem at all.  Then
again, I do use a power chair, which makes it easier to go up steep
inclines.  Also, there's construction going on in a lot of areas of the
campus currently, so a few routes that might be easier to maneuver are
closed off.

Another area where a power chair comes in handy... if a curb cut is missing,
or an entrance is closed, it's very easy for me to go a block out of the way
and take another route.  At just about any college you choose a power chair
would be a good thing to think about... You don't want your daughter to be
so exhausted just getting to class that she can't focus on her studies or
social life.

Oh, and that reminds me... another thing I love about the campus is its
size.  I live on 19th and F and my furthest class is on 23rd and G (about 5
city blocks).

If you'd like to come for a visit, or want some on-campus resources to
contact, you know where to find me.
