As I was mainstreamed and don't sign (which I rather regret but whatevs), interpreters weren't an issue for me, but I did request accommodation for my dorm room.  My alma mater was great on that issue, but I'll never forget the crap experience I had at FSU when visiting as a prospective freshman.


As for classroom accommodations, note-takers were available if desired (the OSD basically bribes someone in the class with some free bookstore money) and as UF has a pretty solid audiology department, when my HA went down freshman year, I had a great pair of loaners and saw the audiologists there free of charge.  At least, I have no memory of paying for anything, except possibly new molds.


Here is what my alma mater offers for classroom accommodation:

While each school organizes their sites differently, it's usually fairly intuitive.  Simple way, do a google search for "Name of School disability services (or resources)"  Some random pages for university accommodations:


Campus Disability Resource Directory | University of Michigan

Student Accessibility Services

Disability Resource Center - Main

Disabled Students' Program

Services for Students with Disabilities


If any of the schools you are interested in have a robust audiology program, there's a strong chance you'll have convenient/free access to good audiologists.  Here's a list of the top programs in the country:
