Honestly, top kids came to gallaudet because of socializing is always offer you can make friends with deaf people or enjoyable time when you break from class.
It is true...same as I do. And I realize this program help me organize and prepare to finish my degree includes my major, there is no complication for me do process with general education and major.
But many students do not like general studies requirement because there is no constrium from other colleges would look at courses which not match others if they want to transfer.
At rugters, mit, harvard, stanford, I wonder do deaf students have opportunity to involved activities and socializing with hearing if they try to make friends at house party or reception you talked with faculty.
Will they still talk about topics but they would not know what they talk about because haven't go to rit or gallaudet make you feel you want to get recongize then transfer to gallaudet or rit?
It is happened in protest 2006 at gallaudet, I noticed many well known people then I would came to meet these people to get know and experienced, they still believe I am here and can done with my degree at gallaudet then they will realize they can respect me.
