Pomona VS Duke VS UCLA - Question from a Disabled Student Moving to the US

[ucbalumnus]

@Ksister

Unfortunately, after talking with my counselor, we have decided that it would still be more beneficial for me to live off-campus, whether with my parents or not, to avoid illnesses that tend to go around all at once at the dorms.

Have you talked to your physician about this issue and whether you can mitigate it while living in the dorms for frosh year? Frosh year is probably the most beneficial to live in the dorms.

Note that nearly all students live in the dorms at Pomona. At UCLA and Duke, nearly all frosh live in the dorms, but a large percentage of UCLA students live off-campus in later years, as does a smaller percentage of Duke students.
