Going to the Office of Disability Services seems like the logical step, but I'd have to wonder about a person's self-esteem. I'd have to imagine a person would rather drop the class than be embarrassed in getting the accommodations. I mean at some point they would have to make a stand on the issue, but sadly a lot of colleges aren't prepared for the larger crowd. Those desks are horrible anyways, I've never met a person who feels comfortable sitting in them. Someone should really redesign the classroom so it still crams as many people as they want in a room, but does so with a diverse layout.

Big girls and college

at the university i attend, which has 17000 students all told, i have literally only ever seen about 2 properly fat girls. there are hardly any, and i always wonder why. maybe it's because my university has a tradition of taking the more well off in society and they tend to be slimmer. I don't know. Besides that, i don't think i've ever been in a lecture theatre there which has individual chairs. It's all fixed raked seating.
