Does your : School have an elevator? If so you can use crutches...and get a nite for an elevator pass. If you don't have an elevator, you can go to school with crutches and get a nite that you may be late to classes and go up stares gingerly or on your backside.....

Tough it up.: You sprained your ankle , and that's certainly a problem. But clearly, getting around is possible, either with crutches or a wheel chair. I can see no reason, other than extreme pain, that should stop you from going to school, especially during exam time. You need to rest, ice, elevate your ankle to assist with your recovery.

Ankle Sprain: Ankle sprains are very common injuries. There's a good chance that while playing as a child or stepping on an uneven surface as an adult you sprained your ankle--some 25,000 people do it every day.​
