    Gallaudet and CI

    im not sure, but i've heard that most of the gally students are against those who use CI and can speak and listen...as long as u are fluent in ASL, u shouldnt be too worried about it..try covering ur CI with ur hair or sumthing n u can easily blend in the whole crowd..if not, u prolly would get...

    Gally President Protests

    i know this is kinda old news, but i can't believe this..protesting about the future gally president not having a hearing loss severe enough is dumb..i think the real issue behind this controversial issue is that these Deaf students of gally are discriminating against those who were raised oral...

    List any school name that you have been attended (elementary to high school)

    what exactly is the point of this?? i would understand asking where you went to high school and college, but every school in your life? that's really pointless and no one really cares...

    University Captioning

    I am currently using Real Time Captioning (RTC) for all my classes except my discussion classes. I have to say that it does help tremendously, because I don't miss anything the professor says in class, since I can read it on the laptop and understand everything he's saying.

    School Admissions

    hi, actually, im not using any other services besides the captioning. you can probably apply for extended time on your midterms/exams due to your disability which is very beneficial if you are a slow test taker. if captioning doesn't work out for you, there's always notetakers and stuff..when...
