Hi Jan:
If you are willing to go to school out of state, you might want to look into
Hofstra University in Long Island, New York. I received a BA in
Communication Arts and an MA in English there, and found campus to be really
accessible. In addition, their Program for the Higher Education of the
Disabled (PHED) [that's the U's Office of Disabled Student Services] is one
of the best around.
I'd be happy to communicate with you directly about any questions you may
have. Also, you (or anyone else from the list) may be interested in a
booklet I've recently developed called "The Road to Equal Access for
Students with Disabilities: A Unique Partnership Between Students, Faculty,
and Administrators". It's targeted for the University population and
designed as a guide for "best practices".
Feel free to contact me anytime.
Regards,
Therese E. Aprile, M.A.

Hi dear friends, I am 4 months away from getting my Associate of Science
degree. I plan to graduate with honors.
I am wanting Universities with out hilly terrain. I am looking for flat
campuses. I have applied to the following universities: If you think the
universities listed below would be a problem to maneuver please tell me.
1. University of Illinois, Urbana-
Champaign.
2. Ohio State University at Columbus
3. Indiana U., Bloomington
If I call the schools I am afraid I would only get the run around, only hear
the good side. If any of you could provide me with a list of accessible
schools with good academic standards I would appreciate it. I plan to major
in English.
I am not worried that much about going out of state.
My dream is to got to Urbana and I hope it works out, but I just want a back
up plan.
Thank you in advance,
Jan
