So I’m going into my Junior year and I recently went fully blind so I can never drive and I live in rural area, so I’m really hoping to experience college living in a big city especially because of public transit opportunities. I really just want to be able to travel independently for once without a car. I’m not against college towns but I definitely prefer big cities. I know I’m starting early but for my situation I feel like there’s a lot of research I’m gonna have to go that normal students wouldn’t so i figure it’s better to start now. A school for me needs to have direct access to public transit, be mostly flat, have great walkability, decent biking, and great disability services. (yes I can bike even if I’m not very good). I have excellent academics and good income so the schools cost isn’t too important in that aspect. I’ve got a 3.8 UW, and 4.0 W, with 2 APs taken all 4 and 5 and 4 more planned for next year. I have dedicated extracurriculars and leadership roles. Currently planning on test optional. But feel free to recommend me any schools. I plan on majoring in poli sci or pre law. Any advice or recommendations?

EDIT: If you know or are a blind student feel free to dm me bc hearing first hand accounts and experiences is very helpful!

Looks like Hong has got this in the bag!

Hey,

So I’ve kinda been a lurker here for a while so I decide to finally post something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. So I’m 16M, gay (obviously lol) and look I’ve had boyfriends. Some irl. Some online. But I just feel like it is so hard to get a dating experience as a gay teen guy. Maybe I’m just still stuck in my small town mindset, but I wish I could experience dating people all throughout high school like my straight friends do. Granted I understand everyone’s experiences are different and I understand that I’m lucky to have even dated 3 ppl, but I just wish there was a dedicated space for gay teens to meet online and experience dating/romance. Don’t know exactly how legal that is. Which is probably why such a specific thing doesn’t exist. But I feel like it would help tremendously. It would decrease grooming, make gay people feel more accepted, and actually help teens find places to explore their identity. Too many teens, including myself have lost our souls to places like snap or other sketchy apps at just a chance of connection. Because let’s be honestly meeting people irl is hard if you’re not gay. Being gay just adds a whole additional layer of struggle. I just wish I had a safe space that I could go to and talk to other gay teens my age who are also interested in experiencing relationships.

I don’t know. What do you think?

P.S. I’m sorry if this violates any rules.
