<p>First of all, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move forward. I know that it can be easy to fall in love with a college but the truth is that there is more than one college for everyone. Second YOU HAVE A FULL RIDE TO A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE – that is amazing news and you should feel proud. Do you know what many people would give to be in your position??</p>
<p>So to move forward I would spend time at UMass-Amherst and look at the classes offered as well as clubs and activities where you can meet people with similar interests etc. Visit the disability office. See if there is an active deaf community. </p>
<p>Second, if you are still not happy with UMass-Amherst, look into other schools there are a ton of wonderful schools that are a bit less selective than Holy Cross. Think about what you really liked about Holy Cross (location, Jesuit ideals, size) and seek out other schools that match up. Do some research online and try to come up with schools that are particularly good for deaf students. But whatever you do, you cannot continue to hold HC out as the “ideal” school – it is not the ideal school because they didn’t accept you.</p>
<p>I found this list online by just googling for a few minutes…I’m sure there are others if you are willing to do more research.
