Review of Gallaudet University

from WASHINGTON, DC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Gallaudet has give me the opportunity to prove myself as an deaf individual, not only to my family, to the society as well. Not only opportunities poured in, the communication at Gallaudet has made it accessible for the deaf students. I can say I fell in love with Gallaudet and am proud to call myself deaf.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Gallaudet is a great school if you ever felt left behind with the communication, and being a freshman is probably the most important year of college years since it is when your GPA starts and it's hard to get good GPA if you didn't take your freshman year seriously.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The teachers there signs, and they provided interpreters for those students who are there to learn. The teachers ensures that we understand the materials and expect the best from us.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I can not be the judge since I live off-campus, but from what I see dorm life made the interaction easy for those who are new faces.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We have cookers and it may take a long line to get the food we want, but they are there everyday making sure we enjoy our meals.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are immaterial sports for everyone to play without needing commitment, there are organizations (I am working on setting up a running organization since my school do not have any sports organization), bash, events, plays, and poetry.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I am 24 years old and I always have hated school, I would call myself a jock, but after I entered Gallaudet I can say I never have been this eager to learn more .I have strong ADD so I can not pay attention to interpreters at all times so with the teachers signing and my motivation to learn just kicked in and got my attention.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Every year, they have this tradition called Bald day for freshman only. They shave their head (boys and girls) to follow the tradition, they also have Rat funeral which is a tradition for freshmen as well, to honor their class and bury a fake rat to represent.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Interpreters majors, who are eager to learn.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

They provide sports, bash, events for international students, to show their support they also have gay and lesbians clubs that gets together and show their pride.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I am more of a Liberal. From what I see, the sorority sisters are close no matter what form or race they come in, they accept all and love all.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

the security are 24/7 and are everywhere.
