I grew up attending a school for the deaf since elementary school, so I knew RIT/NTID would be a good fit for me. I wanted a large Deaf community so I could continue to connect with other students like me, top-notch access services, and a college that was affordable. I fit in perfectly at RIT. The college has so many opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, and I’ve met many of my lifelong friends here. I could not imagine being anywhere else. I know I will be ready for a job when I graduate because RIT is preparing me well.
