I have had two guide dogs. I had one while I was in grad school.
One thing that I noticed is that people interact with me a lot more with a guide dog! I'm an introvert so having the same conversation over and over again with strangers was tough for me and my personality.
If you want to message me I am more than willing to take this conversation further.

Hey good luck with your guide dog. I have had your vision my entire life now age 28. I minored in psychology in university. Don't forget about taking your school's equivalent of a "statistics and data management" course so you can have that on your high school transcript, you might have to take another one in college, not sure.

Also, when you go to college are you going to live on campus, you would probably have a roommate, I lived in a dorm house with four bedrooms and six other guys.

Do you read Braille, or are you planning on learning that? Braille is a skill that I think that every near total blind person should have, + you can ask your college and they will be legally required to help you get your textbooks either in electronic text or audio or Braille.

I totally agree with the other comments about getting a guide dog. Using a Guide dog on college campuses is wonderful. I would also be willing to chat more if you’d like through messaging. My undergrad degree is in psychology so I may be able to help with that too.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking, but I’ll just say that getting a guide dog has been one of the best decisions of my life. Traveling with a guide dog (for me) is faster than using a white cane.
There are many fast cane travelers, so I’ll just add that here before someone takes that out of context.
Anyway, I attended a large campus for college, and using a guide dog made it so much easier to get around. You can teach a dog to find specific objects, entrances, etc. THey already come trained to locate curbs, elevators, stairs, doors, and much more. And they easilyweave you through a crowd of people.
I trained mine to find the dumpster to toss my garbage, my mailbox, and an empty chair in a room.

But, you have to consider the cost of feeding your dog, and performing the daily care duties — from taking it out to relieve, grooming, and playtime. It’s a significant commitment, and not everyone who gets a guide dog thinks it’s worth the extra work.
