<p>If OP is still hanging around, check out RIT. Respected school for computer science (billionaire Tom Golisano has donated tens of millions), and home to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the world’s largest tech college for deaf students. You will get a great computer education, including built in co-op experience, plus be around plenty of other deaf students. Your net cost will also be comparable to in state SUNY, around 20K per year (less co-op earnings).</p>
