I'm talking about...
If you wanna be around Deaf people 24 hours a day, go to Gallaudet.
If you wanna be around Deaf people for an hour, then go to CSUN or RIT.
But because I felt alone in 30,000 hearing people college, the only time
I get to see deaf people is when I am in DORM 6 (deaf student dorm)...
And when I did stay at Dorm 6, I got mostly hearing roommates who
major in deaf studies wanna be all in your face, "how do you sign this?"
And also other time I get to see Deaf people all together is when
I take some Deaf studies classes or at the NCOD deaf event.
That is all....
If I wanna hang out with hearing people most of the time, I might
as well go to COLLEGE near my home.
I'll have to admit I didn't hang out with hearing people "most of the time" at CSUN except in class or at work. Outside of class, most of my activities involved deaf people. So while I again apologize for your feelings of loneliness, I felt like I got a balanced exposure to hearing people while fulfilling my deaf needs.
If you want deaf people 100% of the time and expect to get a job in the deaf world, and never ever want to interact with hearing people ever again, fine, go to Gallaudet, but that's not healthy, and I'm a better person for having that balanced education and work environment. My friends were almost all deaf, and my classmates were motivated individuals, deaf or not.
