Sydney's Words of Wisdom
- What has the opportunity to go to college meant for you?: It means I can still go to normal college classes but be part of people with intellectual disabilities
- What did you learn about yourself during college?: Being more independent by living in the dorms and doing more advocacy for myself
- What advice do you have for incoming freshmen?: Before you start your classes, walk around campus and find all your classrooms! Go to office hours to talk about upcoming assignments. If you can choose where you live on campus, take a look at the options online to learn more about the dorms.
