Hey everyone! I'm currently a junior with disabilities and looking for more guidance. Affordability will definitely be a factor when I'm choosing which college to go to. I know this is a bit specific, but could anyone share which colleges might be affordable and also have good support structures for students with disabilities?
It's terrific that you're planning ahead and reaching out to gather information. Several colleges excel in supporting students with disabilities, and they also keep affordability in mind. To give you a few examples:
1. Utah State University - One of the most affordable schools in the US, Utah State University's Disability Resource Center is known for providing excellent assistance and resources.
2. California State University, Fresno - Not only does it have affordable tuition, but it also offers the Services for Students with Disabilities program, which offers many various accommodations.
3. CUNY (City University of New York) - Known for its affordability, CUNY also boasts a variety of resources through their Disability Services office.
4. University of Iowa - This university's tuition is reasonably priced, especially for in-state residents, and its Student Disability Services is regarded as comprehensive.
5. Wichita State University - This university offers a relatively low tuition and the Office of Disability Services provides reasonable accommodations to students.
Remember to check each institution's net price calculator to get an indication of the financial aid you might receive, which greatly impacts the final "price tag". Additionally, inquire about specific services available for students with disabilities during your college research to ensure your needs will be met. Good luck with the process!
