It took me, a Westhampton College senior who suffered a serious knee injury this spring that has severely limited my mobility, almost four years to realize how inaccessible University of Richmond’s campus is to disabled people. After spring break, I came back to campus using crutches for about two weeks and I will be wearing a straight leg brace for six weeks to ensure that I don't bend my leg. If I’m lucky, I move at about 50 percent of my normal pace. This experience is giving me a sense of what it would be like to be permanently disabled, and I can tell you, it has not been a pleasant one on our campus.

One would think that going from class to class in a wheelchair could be even more difficult, but Cole Sydnor, a freshman who is in a wheelchair full-time, said "You wouldn't be able to keep up with me." Sydnor has a motorized wheelchair and he said that he could travel from Lakeview Hall to Gottwald Center for the Sciences, where he has three classes, in just four minutes.
