大学交流 is located less than five miles from the South Carolina School for the Deaf 和 the Blind, the only residential school for the Deaf in the state. ASL students have many opportunities to 访问 the campus 和 attend athletic 和 cultural events. 另外, there is a large vibrant Deaf Community in the Spartanburg area that provides additional opportunities at restaurants 和 community events to socialize 和 practice ASL skills with Deaf individuals.
ASL classes after the first introductory level are taught by Deaf individuals or by children of Deaf adults. 我们的 教授 provide students with rich first-h和 experiences of the 语言 和 the community.
