WHEELS ON CAMPUS -- A GUIDE TO WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY HIGHER EDUCATION (part 5)

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

Tamia Robinson, a junior criminology major with spina bi­fida who uses a manual chair, says one of the biggest barriers to college for a student with a disability is finding an inclusive dorm, 

but Cypress Hall delivers with wide hallways, adjustable beds and dozens of other technologies.

“The amount of programs my university has is amazing, too,” she says. 

“We have wheelchair basketball, an honor society for students with disabilities, a study abroad program that includes disability studies, accessible yoga and an amazing disability studies department.”
