<p>If you have a learning disability, you are going to have to choose your college carefully. I know a young man with a learning disability who attends U of MI. He did very well in high school, but he has struggled in college. I would suggest finding a support group for your particular LD and contacting them. Find out what stats they have on student success at various state U's for those with your LD. A great football team & a party atmosphere may sound great ... but when your parents are shelling out thousands of dollars for your education (or you are borrowing for it!), you need to consider where you will be most successful. You can always watch the "big" games on tv. You might find that a smaller school with a student body that supports its teams is a better environment for you.</p>
