<p>hairypotty, first off, not every W&M class is going to be small, but I’m not sure how large the classes at UVA are. It does seem to me that communication is the key to just about everything and if you think UVA can provide that better for you then you should give it a lot of consideration. W&M is a great school, but so is UVA and you might not want to be the possible guinea pig for W&M newer services to deaf students. I guess there are advantages to both schools and you just need to decide which are more important. Good luck with your decision!</p>
