Hi, I thought that I would weigh in on the Gallaudet topic. I did my SLP MS there, and am now doing my CF and applying for PhDs. I saw the poster that wrote "you will hate your life." (Not sure who it is, but we probably know each other!) It's true... you will hate your life a little bit. But I think that SLP is such a broad field, with so much to cover, that in any worthwhile program, you will hate it a bit sometimes because it can get insane. And that's not to say that there aren't things that I didn't like about Gally. There are a couple supervisors and professors that need to go. But overall, I would go there again. I got a good education, a good job afterward, and best of all, it was free. Even if you don't get financial aid/scholarships, the cost is so reasonable. It is not worth taking out tons of loans for an SLP program, IMO. If you're interested in ASL and Deaf culture, that's great, but there are also plenty of people in the program who end up doing things completely unrelated to deafness.
