College thoughts for complicated situation

Consider schools with schedules that allow for some flexibility. Elon - four credit hour classes and J term, which would give her a chance to rest up in Jan. or make up a class. What about the school (Colorado?) that does one course at a time for a period of weeks. Lafayette and Hobart & William Smith have the extra term (January and May respectively). Basically, I would plan on her taking longer than four years to accommodate a lighter schedule.

Also, I’d look for a campus that isn’t too spread out if walking tires her out (Elon is huge, Lafayette is not).

Lastly, if a wheelchair is a possibility in her future, there are huge disparities in accessibility between campuses despite ADA regulations. Older campuses can’t change some of their 100 year old structures. Good luck to your smart and driven daughter!
