Description: The College Experience is a residential, non-credit certificate program hosted by the College of St Rose in Albany NY. Through The College Experience, students with developmental disabilities can practice living independently, make friends, intern at area businesses and become part of a diverse campus community. The objective of the program is to give students with developmental disabilities opportunities similar to their siblings and high-school peers. These students have the chance to attend college in order to transition to independent adult life, but with accommodated instruction that addresses students’ needs for practical living and working skills.
