I need to go to a small college. I'm legally blind, and small classes are the easiest way to get the special accomodations that I need. All of the smaller colleges I've been to either have really shitty facilities, don't have the major I want, or have absolutly nothing to do around the campus. I also can't drive, so public transportation is a must. any suggestions?

colorado mountian college in steamboat springs is awesome...its where ill be goin in the spring and the public transportation is good there and its only 4 miles aways from steamboat ski resort...also it is a community college so youll have no problem getting in, the that sucks is its only a 2 year college, and on the positive side the town there is awesome and theres always something going on so if u love the mountians and skiing and want to get an education at the same time i would def. say this college is for u....anyways hope this helps you out...

peace

I have to stay in new england, or I don't get money from the state (they pay for all my books, and 250 dollars for every course hour)

St Mike's and Champlain College in Burlington VT. Most classes consist of no more than twenty students. There are busses that run from the St Mikes campus to Burlington (a five minute ride) and Champlain College is right in the heart of the city. I go to St Mikes and have friends at Champlain. Both have nice campuses, tho' they are a little bit different. St Mikes is more liberal arts while Champlain is more business orientated.

the idea of a small college that doesn't suck is kinda like the idea of a 3 foot powder day that isn't awesome... it makes you chuckle a bit, and then realize you are a bit crazy for even dreaming of such a thing.

I've come to the conclusion that any small college that dosn't suck costs 45 thousand dollars
