I loved my time at Gallaudet. It is the only school of its kind in the world. I would not trade my time there for anything. I liked it so much that I am now going back for graduate school. I love that the campus is completely bilingual, with all interactions happening in American Sign Language and written work happening in English. The bureaucracy of dealing with offices is terrible, but the unique experience makes it worth it.
Gallaudet University is a great institution that prides itself on diversity and inclusion. Historically established for students who are Deaf/Hard of hearing, Gallaudet offers a rich culture and resources for students in this population. As a hearing student, I have been able to learn ASL in classes and in everyday interactions. This component has been exceptionally beneficial to my education in speech pathology.
