No college has good food on campus.
What do you want to study? Pick the school that is best for your particular major. Or, the college with the hottest young men. lol

If you want to study deaf studies or deaf dept etc then gallaudet.

If you want to study engineers then RIT

simple as that.

Foxrac

Yup, I agree with you.

I'm not happy with cafeteria at Gallaudet University, despite about better food but they gave me a GI problem with lacks of good vegetable options so they are classified as limited buffet restaurant/fast food that I cannot eat everyday. Restaurants are fine for 2-3 times a week, not everyday and I prefer to cook my own food to keep GI problem under control and promote the healthily digestive function.

I'm wait to get a kitchen access this week so I can cook my own food.

I only like the salad bar at the cafeteria. Gally makes so much greasy food- ick. I'm an extremely fussy eater.

I hope your GI problem gets better soon! Stay away from the fried junk etc.


Despite the crappy food there, I choose Gallaudet over RIT. I find that I'm much more comfortable being in an all-deaf environment. Growing up, I was around hearing people 24/7 and I always felt left out. I would love to start living in the deaf world for a change.

Gally also offers good education!

I am considering RIT NTID simply cause I cant stand being in all voice off environment lol. But I do want to study to be an game developer which then RIT is the place to learn it of course.

But I agree with everyone else, gally food sucked big time. Good thing I was only there for a week cause I could NOT stand the food after 2 days. I remember having to order Chinese food cause of that

Not to mention, Gally is in a more exciting place (besides the getto neighbors), wash dc is a really cool place.

I agree, there are tons of fun stuff to do there. They also have awesome nightclubs

And awesome food at Union Station if you can afford to go there daily.

I went to Gallaudet but never lived on campus. I have always lived off-campus so I was able to cook my own food. I think the dorms should have a small kitchen on each floor so the students can opt to cook homemade meals instead of being forced to eat in the cafeteria.

I just loved the Mexican food from one of the small restaurant. I dont think it is there anymore. That was back in 2000 to 2002.

I would say Au Bon Pain, the food is low in calories and full of nutrition.

I love their spinach and cheese croissants!!

Mintee

bbaseballboy123

Yup, I requested them to cook 2 vegetables and ate in few hours ago, also I don't eat any meats due fear of GI problem because they cook a grilled chicken breast on nasty greasy cook top and some students said they probably not wash any vegetables so well, that promote me to concern about food safety.

Thank you for telling me about GI problem and it wasn't pleasant to experience like that.

Yup, Gally cafeteria during summertime is ****ing terrible and very limited selection of food.

I'm consider about transfer to RIT if I'm not happy with Gally and I hope their dorm room has kitchen.

Deaf school will hire you if you have degree from Gallaudet.

High-tech will hire you if you have degree from RIT (not NTID)

RIT is not a deaf college but it provides interpreters. I went there for one year after graduating from NTID. To tell you the truth, it was very tough for me since the interpreters signed too fast because the teachers kept lecturing with no interruption. If you don't understand what the teacher says, she/he won't repeat it for your sake, otherwise the class would be behind. You have to see the teacher after class if you have questions.

I don't know about Gally but I believe that the teachers sign at a normal pace like NTID.

DeafBadger

Why would they not hire from NTID? Aren't the degrees as good? Unless you get the degree from RIT, even though you went to NTID?

No, I'm not disagreeing with you. I have no first-hand knowledge of these schools. I'm trying to learn more.

I'm considering going to NTID at some point. I'm trying to clarify if it would be worth it, because if it is true that employers won't hire someone with a degree from NTID, what would be the point in going there?

So I was asking:

1) Are you saying that people who go to NTID actually have RIT printed on their degrees?

and/or 2) Are you saying that a degree from either NTID or RIT is worthless to tech employers?
