I like to know about NTID. Does it is good? I need to know more.
 
NTID is great, depending on what passion you got. If you got passion in Technical then awesome, but if not, then can find other place that fits your passion.

Lemme check out window....

Aha, its still there 9 miles away!
 
It's a good place to go... only if you're willing to be a dedicated student.

A lot of students go to NTID thinking they have it easy, but end up flunking out or dropping out because all they do is sleep in, party, drink, do drugs, get knocked up, and get in trouble.

So, if you can go to classes... keep your grades up... avoid trouble... etc... then you'll be fine. :thumb:
 
yes I was accepted to RIT (well NTID is just a building away). It is a nice facility and all. fine education system. But I ended up at Virginia Tech. probably a bad move but that was 10 years ago because RIT/NTID is much better equipped to accommodate me.
 
Yes. Stick to colleges and universities with large dhh popyulations. It's too much of a pain to try to get good accomondations (beyond a notetaker) otherwise, and then your grades suffer.
 
Can you survive during the Rochester's freezing winter?

I love NTID-----graduated with an AA in Applied Art in 1982. Now hopefully to go back to get a master's in TOD (teacher of the deaf) this fall. A great place, very nice teachers--sign for themselves. Back in 1982, they boosted my poor self esteem by being friendly, kind, caring, and helpful in all areas. Very modern accommodations now--has a deaf research, C-print (if u go to hearing classes), hearing aid and cochlear implant clinics (they are state of the art knowing what kind of hearing aid that would help you the best opposed to the hearing aid "specialists" that try to sell you a hearing aid without much knowledge which and what is the best for u., they bought mine back then, dunno about now) But I have a cochlear implant for 5 years but did not use it because there is no rehabiliation to help with such terrible issues about hearing for the first time and not wanting to wear it because it is so loud or strange to my brain. You only have to pay 1/3 of the tuition what it costs for the hearing student. Keep in mind, NTID is part of a hearing college---20,000 students but just about 1500 deaf students and they are separate from the hearing college in a further away location but in a walking distance. They have captioned large screen movies that are new and not yet video. I don't know what else to say, but take my word for it-----it is awesome.
 
Ntid

As a hearing student interesting in Interpreting, I visited the school. It is a beautiful school, if you can stand the Rochester weather.

I know many Deaf individuals that go to NTID and love it. The teachers are fluent in ASL, of course, and if students attend classes at RIT (the campus that houses NTID) they have very skilled interpreters.

Students can be immersed in both cultures, the Deaf Culture and the Hearing culture, like they are in the real world. They have access to Deaf teachers and Hearing teachers, and they are really encouraged to reach their highest potential. I have seen students thrive at NTID and really believe it's a great school.
