[quote=Anonymous]OP, major is important. You are smart to be thinking of this now. I would say you need to choose a university based majors they offer. Weak students usually struggle with math and foreign language.  I would highly suggest universities that offer a College of Communications. Look to the Midwest. Become very familiar with The Common Data Set (or similar named), and The Course Catalogue, and The Course of Studies. These documents (or similar named) will spell out what prerequisite are needed for each major. As you probably know universities are arrange into colleges. Each college has different entry requirements.

Others might suggest certain LACs, going in with accommodations, or SN support services at universities. What I like about the Colleges of Communications at large universities is the flexibility. There is room on the schedule to take a wide variety of subjects, to try them out. Perhaps take business classes. There is a wide choice of professors, time of day classes are offered. Easy to drop a class, if the student gets-in over their head, without having to convince a counselor to sign-off. When they find a professor they particularly like, encourage the student to take every class the professor offers.
