NTID is mainstream that is for sure !!!!

NTID is there for dhh to get education through RIT and I believe that NTID demands dhh to get better in English, that is the top reason why I want to increase my English level from 10th to college level.

Believe me, I would easily imagine that Gally's English requirements for graduating with a bachelor's to be just as demanding as RIT's requirements.

I know, Gally is often maligned for its poor English reputation among its student body, as it often admit students with poor English skills. However, such students have to pass a series of English courses in order to graduate or leave the university empty-handed.

Secondly, you said that Gally isn't a 'mainstream' university. You do make a valid point. That said, 'reverse' mainstreaming is now happening, as Gally is admitting a few hearing students for undergraduate studies. Moreover, in a short span of 4-5 years, Gally prepares Deaf students to have productive lives in mainstream society for the rest of their lives, usually 30, 40, or 50 years down the road. A nice trade-off, eh?

That all said, I'm glad there's choices other than Gally for a young Deaf high school graduate such as yourself! I didn't have that luxury back then, as I graduated from FSD way back before the ADA was even a gleam in Congress' eyes. I actually went to a technical trade school, studying electronics engineering, before deciding to junk the whole mainstream experience and went to Gally.

I cannt vote. But I do like Gally when I visited there but I dont know abt their education and everything like that. So, I will vote later!

Mainstream college, you have to compete with hearing people.

I chatted with deaf guy, a student from NTID/RIT... And he was telling me how hard to get interpreters for his classes.

My experience at CSUN, I had to sign up for requests to get interpreters and notetakers. And advisors kept saying tuesday and thursday are best days to get interpreters because they aren't so busy.

And sometimes advisor would be bitching about it.... I had to waste my time argueing with her that I need interpreter.

I should have hire me my own personal interpreter and pay her wages out of my own pocket.

Yeah, same thing happens to community college with deaf programs. Interpreting Serive coordintor tried her best to schedule the hundred deaf students to smooth out in any college courses. It is not very easy task to work out with deaf students. Sometimes it works to ask students to join same college course instead of having different time/day, night courses, and weekend. PIA to have whole deaf students on M W F in mornings.

I attend to the well known business unviersity. Some interpreters would tell me that they have to leave 15 min instead of 30 min since I only take 3-evening course a week. I already warned them that if they even leave less than 15 min then I would have to contact the campus manager and/or their supervior at the sign langauge agency. They think that they would not follow my rule. I said ok... you may stay or leave if you follow my rule. They are shocked and need extra money. It is not easy for me since I drive from my work to school in 20 minutes even in bad traffic and bad weather. I only give my permission to campus manager or professor that they can waive interpreter to leave if I could not make it. The campus manager has not problem with it since he knows about sincere business in real world. If I am in community college with deaf program, it is entirely different...

NTID/RIT doesn't have English courses (well, not really, anyway)... They require you to have excellent English before they'll even consider looking at your application. That's the difference between NTID/RIT and Gally.

You got that right. There is big difference between NTID and Gally. NTID/RIT is just a technology college and Gally is a university.

I understand why some students are not happy with Gally educational system. The students are responsible to study hard not partying too often or watching on TV or surfing on Internet...

Students, WAKE UP Get your nose in the books and be smarter than Elite Ivy Univerity Students....

Why? we do care you to be successful intelligent people...

 

[The*Empress]

Yeah I agree, Gallaudet is strict on English.
They test all students on Grammars and English, retest and retest and retest and make you study hard and make you read books. Start out with basic to advance.

Yeah getting interpreters and notetakers can be difficult.

RIT is more than "a technology college"... It's a university with programs in a lot of different disciplines (art, business, science, computers, engineering, and a few in liberal arts). Yes, technology is involved in all disciplines in some way (Photography and film majors need computers to do some of their work) but most of the programs RIT offers are not actually oriented around technology.

...actually, it's significantly larger than Gally if I remember correctly. RIT is a pretty big school.

Keep in mind that NTID is smaller than Gally but RIT is bigger than Gally....

Yeah, but NTID is just one college of many at RIT... RIT without NTID would have a tremendous amount of resources (far more than Gally) in its own right--the existence of NTID merely expands those and provides a means by which dhh people can take advantage of said resources.

How is that possible if dhh students at RIT achieve their goals without NTID program?

I don't think I understand your question... Please rephrase.
