Accommodations For Grad School In England

[Lukkychrm42]

These haven't yet been approved as there's quite a large amount of funding required, but my drafted accommodations for my Masters program are really extensive...much more than I ever had available to me here in the States... including not only special software to allow me to communicate wirelessly with tutors, shower chair, recording device, ground floor flat, and all my usual exam accommodations (food and drink, breaks, extra time, etc.), but also someone to do shopping and laundry twice a week, and so on.

One of my tutors in Lancaster, England once told me that disability legislation in the UK was there but had no teeth. Well, I don't know if this is Manchester or the whole UK, but it's looking pretty darn good to me!

Hooray! This sounds great- this is how it SHOULD be. My friend at Manchester doing a PhD is really loving it there. I'll have to get her to look out for you. Manc does have a great reputation as a friendly university. I'm so pleased this all looks so positive!
