<p>My S was accepted at UOP in communications. He is interested in debate. He has a writing disability and is concerned that because UOP is larger than the LACs he is considering that classes will have more lectures and fewer discussions. Does anyone have information on their social science classes?</p>
<p>Are you referring to University of the Pacific?
My son goes to UOP. He has ADD and LD’s. UOP was not my first choice for him but he has been happy. The disabilities office is helpful. It is not as hands on as some of the other schools we looked at. But they are good about getting you the accommodations you need. They also can help you get additional time in the tutoring center. The main thing is your son has to be willing to use the help. My son has not been as proactive as he should be.
My son has not had any huge classes. I think his largest class was 30 kids. Most of his classes have been under 20. This term he had one art class with 3 students. My son is a graphic design major going for a BFA.</p>
<p>Yes, University of the Pacific. Thanks for the input. My son needs to have his accommodations in place so as long as it is easy to get an appointment and get accommodations he should be fine. He is mainly concerned about being bored in lecture classes since he has been bored in high school. A student he talked to said there wasn’t a lot of discussion in classes. What schools did you think had better disability services? It seems to me that most of the private schools are similar with one exception. Some guarantee note takers and others only do if a student volunteers. Disability services offices in private colleges all seem to expect the students to make the effort.</p>
