I am a student at UC Davis. Everyone I have been around is very understanding.I have registered with the school's disability office and I talk to my professors and T.A.'s each quarter. For everyone that knows, they all say they will call 911 when they see something happen and in the past when they have occurred, they did call 911. UC Davis has a GREAT  bus system so, I don't have a problem getting around.  And as a "disabled" student, I have taken many accommodation that I do not need like, extra time on tests. Everyone around me has been nice but, I don't make things complicated. My family knows that if they see something, they should roll me on my side and put a pill in my mouth. Everyone else, I just tell them to call 911 because that is easy for them to remember. DO NOT worry about it! It will be fun!   :D
