Well look into it. I highly reccomend going to a college that has a strong dhh population. It's good for socialization, AND also good b/c then that way you get proper academic support.
Hey Travis,
If you attend college, you will have more of a chance at getting a better job, with better pay. You will have more opportunities to find what makes you happiest, and that is very important.
There are many great colleges around the US. You have to find one that fits you. It's up to you whether you attend a college that has mainly a Deaf population or mainly a Hearing population. Many like ones that have a more predominant Deaf population because they have better interpreters and accommodation services.
Gallaudet University and NTID are two really good colleges for Deaf individuals. If you want to talk to them, you can call them on VP.
Hope this helps!
Travis, good luck with your research! Just do your best to find the answers you want. Don't let other people decide how you feel about yourself or tell you that you "can't do it"

You are already making a lot of progress on English grammar. Good luck on your college plans.
I know we have a lot of lurkers so my response to this is targeted towards them. Yes, Gally may not be known for being "Harvard level"You have to find one that fits you.

Travis, I wonder if NTID might offer some remedial classes specificly for dhh kids to improve their English. I really can get the "gist" of what you are saying. I think you just need to improve on grammar and syntax.
Were you mainstreamed to the max or were you educated in dhh programs/schools?
Maybe you could get in by arguing that you need dhh specific education.

BUT it's still a pretty decent college. They have BEYOND AWESOME accomondations, as well as a HUGE community of dhh folks. (good for social life AND dating! Which is a BIG plus for a lot of kids who haven't really fit in socially in the mainstream) The majority of hearing colleges really don't provide the quality of accomondations and community that a deaf college (like Gally or NTID or CSUN) or a college with a fairly large dhh subpopulation can. Plus it would prolly be a HECK of a lot easier to get dean's list (with a college with really good accomondations) then it would be to struggle at a hearing college with very minimal accomondations.
