> Joy don't let the fear of leaving home stop you from enjoying your college

from
> 1990-1994) and if I could do it over I would have moved to an apartment on
> campus. Many Universities now have accessible rooms that allows us to be a
> real part of the college environment (thank the ADA). I missed so much by

different
