MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Benjamin Dorne hasn't started college yet, but he's already worried about four years from now when he graduates and leaves all the friends he expects to make.
Dorne has seen his two brothers go off to college and it never occurred to him that he wouldn't attend as well. He isn't worried about living on his own, instead he's anxious that he'll be sad to leave college when he's done.
Dorne, 21, who has Down syndrome, will attend The College of New Jersey this fall, a member of the fifth incoming class of the college's Career & Community Studies, a four-year certificate program for adults with intellectual disabilities.
