Any stories about your experiences will help!

By the way what is CSUN? I've never heard of it.
CSUN has the 3rd largest deaf college population in the U.S. 250 deaf and hard of hearing college undergraduates and graduate students study there with the majority of them mainstreamed with hearing peers with interpreters, real time captioning, typewell captioning, and notetakers. There are several courses that are deaf-only students taught by deaf faculty as well. CSUN has a ton of majors for you to study, from engineering to computer science to art to biology to urban studies to geography and many, many, many more.

CSUN is in Southern California near Los Angeles, CA. It's sunny year round, has a ton of things to do in the community, lots of activities, and plenty of experiences to learn there. CSUN is the home of the National Center on Deafness which provides support to the students with counseling, consulting, and resources.

For more information, a few websites are:

www.csun.edu
ncod.csun.edu

You can also email ncod@csun.edu any questions you have and a counselor or staff member will be able to answer them.

I'm a CSUN graduate and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have as well.
