Talk about colleges. Some that you like because of the ESE services that they offer...some you don't like because of the services they fail to offer. this is Just to help each other out when it comes to becoming a "college kid." A fact I think I should share is that USF now requires an "A" Average to get accepted to their university. IEP's are no longer followed in college, it is up to the school what they do for students with your disability, and while colleges don't use IEP's they can be used as a guide line for what types of things a school may be able to help you with, in order for you to do your academic best. There is a school just for ESE students called Beacon College www.beaconcollege.edu/

I found this website thought it might be helpful, it lists some colleges that has support for students with disabilities and what that support includes, keep in mind that the schools listed are not the only colleges that offer support, I think you'll find that if you investigate most schools offer some form of support. www.college-scholarships.com/learning_disabilities.htm

So this ball is not rolling. So I will share my experiences. I am a Junior at a University now-Time does fly, but this is what I remember about being a freshman. At first it may be kind of hard to adjust to being away from friends and family, but I think you will find that for the first month, you get caught up in the excitement of it all and you don't get too homesick.
After the "newness" has worn off, it is easy to fall into feeling homesick-which is why you must find fun activities to keep yourself busy.
In some ways college is easier than high school, in other ways it is harder. I always thought "College work is going to be so hard, I wont understand it." That pretty much was not the case. I found a lot of the Home work to be the same as high school, or less than the amount I got in High School. One thing about the grading of papers though, is a lot of college professors give you two grades on one paper. One grade for grammar, spelling, and punctuation and another grade for the content of your paper. So be prepared to check, double check and triple check your work, then when your done have a friend check it over-not that I always do this but I should!
College is really NOT as scary as it seems so please have no fear!
Have any questions about college? Ask!
