Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

My classmates were nerds.

Being black, I have a little bit of a different perspective. Most of my close friends do happen to be black. This is mainly because all the white girls I was cool with freshman year joined sororities so they always had stuff to do after class. That made me get more involved with AASU. Also, I didn't declare a major until my 2nd year so I'm only just now starting to have classes with the same people. You will notice, especially in lecture classes, that you are one of maybe 3 little brown spots. 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time though, it doesn't make a difference in how you are treated (hey, there's always that one prof or adviser...). White students tend to do better here because they do things like join study groups, and don't have a problem asking for help. I've noticed that we black people sometimes feel a need to prove ourselves and won't admit that we're struggling until our grade is already trashed. All in all, students here aren't too much different than anywhere else. Maybe a little smarter (just joking!). We wear the same sneakers, sweatpants (PINK by Victoria's Secret is a must-have for girls), and school logo hoodies.

My classmates are all very academically smart, very diverse, and will all have extremely bright futures.

My classmates are bright, intelligent, and competitive.

Georgia Tech student rides the dryers!

Somewhat nerdy and all very competitive. No matter what I can count on someone being better than me and someone trying hard that I am.

idk

the food sucks!!!

mostly non-white people. Alot of athesists for some reason. Frats are very gay/fake people.

First and foremost, there is a club for EVERYTHING at Tech, including any racial makeup/combination, sexual orientation, religious belief, sport interest... anything. That being said, for there being so many different clubs, everyone really gets along pretty well. There are always conflicting beliefs, but I think most of us know how to respect each other's opinions and beliefs. The only out of place student I see is one who is not really up to par, intellectually. All different types of students interact on a daily basis. Although there are cliques, everyone talks to everyone at some point. There are no completely defined black and white social boundaries. Students at Tech are mostly politically aware, although we don't always have the time to participate as much as we may want. The dress for class: mostly sweats and t-shirts. Dress up if you want..
