I would really really consider a school that is near your home so that you can get support when needed as well as being able to use your usual doctors.

Also make sure your budget can afford these schools…run the Net Price Calculator to check.

Also google wheel chair accessible colleges and visit if possible.

You can also see if the colleges show accessibility maps, e.g.

I woudl try visiting a local college to get an idea of the types of things to look for…can you access the dorm? Cafeteria? Library? Gym? health center? Classes? Labs?
Look for stories on the itnernet of other people in a similar situation…maybe there is an accessible dorm room, but does it have enough room for any equipment you have?
