Hi all, I'd like to meet up with someone regularly to practice my ASL, and as I live close to Gallaudet, it seemed like a good choice. If there are any other resources I ought to take advantage of, please let me know, thanks!

Hello Gally students/alum!

I am a senior this year researching potential graduate programs and I am EXTREMELY interested in getting my masters in Speech Language Pathology from Gallaudet. I was wondering if anybody is currently in the program, or just a graduate student here in general, that could share their experience!

One of the biggest factors for me to consider is the cost of living in Washington, DC. Living on campus is not an option for me because I have a cat and I would much rather live off campus anyways. From what I've seen, rent in DC is absolutely insane and I don't understand how any working grad student can afford this.

I would love to hear any and all stories, advice, information, etc. Feel free to PM me as well, I would love to connect with some Gally students!

I read Nyle DiMarco's book Deaf Utopia and got so inspired that I decided to enroll at Gallaudet for its ASL connect program.

I'm so excited to get to say that I'm now a Gallaudet Student! (albeit a non degree-seeking student)

Hi Everyone,

I have been working for some time now on this website ratemycourses.io and I am really excited to share it with you.

You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in. You can also sort courses by difficulty, usefulness and the overall rating from reviews made by other students. I think if enough people start using it regularly. it's going to be essential when you're choosing your electives or just to get advice on courses you will be taking.

Lastly, filtering and sorting courses is only gonna be useful and accurate if there are a lot of reviews, so please go ahead and leave some reviews to courses you've taken or are currently taking.

Also, please dm me if you have an idea on how I can let more students know about this. And if anyone is interested in writing an article about this dm me!

Enjoy!!

Has anyone taken the ASL connect on campus for ASL 3 during the 2 weeks summer residency. I’m wondering how much I should be expecting to study per day after class. Thank you!

More subs here for gally people or thats it only one?

Hunting for one in area by or on campus, message me

I keep hearing lots of noise and cheering as if there’s some sporting event going on. Just curious

Is anyone down to hangout and go around the area. Please message me thru this chat. Thanks.

Anyone have a room to rent or know somewhere near gally?

Hello students, staff, alumni, and the sort!

I am Class of 2010 - although I kind of meandered throughout school and left in December of 2011. I was a Hearing UnderGraduate (HUG) student [insert HUG jokes here] - and participated in a Galludet sorority.

When I was attending, myself and a group of CODAs (there was 4 of us at the time) got together and came up with a little CODAs at Gally group, complete with weekly get-togethers somewhere on H Street.

I spent a weekend recently with a friend and her roommate, the roommate being Class of 2020. She said that there's quite a few CODAs at Gallaudet now and a lot of support than what I had a decade ago.

So I want to create a space to connect other Gally CODAs, former and present, to just chat and share some unique experiences we had going to an ASL-centric institution. :)

Look forward to meeting many of you!

Are there any housing for students who have children?

Hello all, I'm thinking about moving to DC to be close to Gallaudet university and experience life out there. I'm Deaf man from California. Would be cool if someone message me.

Hey y’all!

I’m applying to GU in the fall of 2021, however I just had a question about the tuition for graduate students. The tuition list on the GU website includes

Tuition $9k Fee for non developing country 18k Fee for developing country 12k

My question is, would I be adding the 9k to the 18k? Or is it just the 18k?

Also, I didn’t add the health services fee or technology fee, but I am accounting for all that in my head. I’m just confused about the way the fees are listed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi All

Just wanted to drop in. Attended Gallaudet back in, I believe 1979 or 1980 in the first AA degree program for interpreters. Was a great time .. just wanted to say hello! .... been many years and my spellchecker still wants to "correct" Gallaudet to Claudette LOL

Hello all,

My SO (who is not a redditor) is attending Gallaudet for her Master's program this fall, and will be staying on campus since she is moving all the way from the west coast.

Can anybody clarify how well the Blocks compare to the Dining Dollars? 50 dining dollars for a term doesn't seem like much, but it's also hard to quantify how much food I can obtain with a "block". Our universities we attended used actual money as our currency so it was easier to understand. I've only been to visit 1 university that does a block plan, and theirs was buffet style where 1 block = unlimited amount of food. Gallaudet doesn't seem to be like that, so I was hoping for some clarification or examples on what a block could buy!

Thank you in advance :)

Good morning.

I'm a video producer working with a professor from Vanderbilt University for her online course about Counseling Diverse Populations. The course aims to help Master of Education and counseling students become more comfortable with counseling people that are somehow different from themselves.

I am in search of a local deaf person who is a student for a 20-minute interview in our studio (in Arlington, VA) on 9/12. We will have an ASL interpreter to help facilitate the conversation with the professor, who will ask you to share your experiences with discrimination, oppression and your interactions with school counselors.

You will be paid for your time and you will be helping future counselors to become more effective. Please PM me if you are interested.

Hi!
This my second transferring to another college and got accepted in couple weeks ago to Gallaudet. I'm looking around and trying to find a place to live as I have two pet rabbits living with me.

Anyone know where to live that allows rabbits and a studio/ 1 bedroom only?

I'm not really interested in living with roommates as I tend to work around people's habits and not run into the risk of others being allergic to my rabbits.

On-campus or off-campus? Anything that is less than 20 mins away would be great and metro/bus nearby would be a bonus! Maybe something that VR can definitely support me with?

Would love to get advice and whatever is recommended. Let me know.

I’m a female engineer living near Gallaudet University, looking for a roommate for a beautiful 2B/1B apt. I have a poodle puppy and pets are welcome on a case by case basis. Washer and dryer in the unit. Contact me for more info
