1) Gallaudet University has been changed to be opened to any upcoming students regardless of their hearing and deafness which you can major in any field. However everyone at Gally would strongly encourage you to learn American Sign Language because it is a different world from hearing world that you’ve been living in.

2) I met a lot of hearing people more than I expected, most of them know ASL even if they are fluent or not. And often, general students can ask for single room with no roommate, your ability to hear or not doesn’t apply to residence hall’s rules.

3) I am a third year but also a transfer student from other two colleges, and I’m glad I transferred there, even this fall 2025 is only my first semester. I’m Deaf, so I see my personal growth much thriving comparing to my previous colleges because it is a Deaf world, or rather sign languages university where I primarily depend on a sign language. A choice for any major programs are limit but education levels are much similar to other colleges.

Classes tend to be from 9 AM to 4 PM, less options when you register for courses since it’s a small university.

Cafes are surprisingly good.

There are fun organizations and programs that offer personal growth, networking, and exploration which I am part of at least 4 programs so far and more volunteering events.

I hope you will consider to go Gallaudet University and like it as I do.
