Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

While most colleges tend to be on the liberal side, the GT student body is closer to being conservative. Clothing is very relaxed, jeans & t-shirt are the common uniform with hoodies in cold weather. Anyone coming from GT has the real potential to earn a decent salary in the work place, so there is no bragging about earnings.

No one feels out of place at Georgia Tech. When they tell you on the tour there is an organization for everyone, they mean it! From Rho Epsilon Delta (the fraternity of people with red hair) to Georgia Tech's philanthropy GT Heros, or the Indian Club and fashion club, there really is something for everyone. Attire to class depends on the students. You have the typical people who rolled out of bed and forgot to brush their teeth to the students who wouldn't be caught dead in anything that didn't look fratastic. Due to the large variety of cultures, different types of students are forced to interact. There's lots of group projects and depending on your major you have Senior Design which forces you to work with everyone. Most Georgia Tech students are either from out of state or out of the country. People come to Tech from literally all over the world. Students are very politically aware and active! Tech is so known for being active that Barack Obama came and spoke at our school! At the time, Tech gave him his largest crowd to the date! There is a large mix of political preference including Independents! Students always talk about how much money they will make one day since most students start off making more than most students will EVER make at other schools, like UGA.

There are so many different cultures mixed together on the Tech campus as well as a mix of personality types. In others no one would really feel left out on campus. Popular topics of converstions include academics, and future careers and wealth.

The Georgia Tech community is very diverse in race, culture, and religion. There are many nerds or socially awkward people. Many that never leave their dorm except for class and meals. Student organizations are good to meet "normal" people.

I love them! GT students have changed my life!

The best way to describe the student body is smart and hard-working.

Tech students come from all over the world, literally. My roommate this past year was from Indonesia. Being on Tech's campus, a student is offered a multicultural experience by just walking outside! Such a diversity serves to better Tech's campus and to open a student to new experiences.

Georgia Tech is VERY diverse. If you feel in need of expanding your cultural horizons, Georgia Tech is the place to do it! There are student organizations for every type of person. I can't imagine a single person feeling out of place at Georgia Tech...except maybe someone unintelligent?...or a UGA student...some Tech students will argue that that's the same thing! :) Most students wear whatever they want to class. Some students wear PJs, others wear business casual, but the common attire is T-shirts and jeans.

There are a lot of Asians here and that includes south asians. There is usually someone in your class in the dining hall, and most are friendly, as in you can sit down and have lunch with them. For the most part though a lot of students who are by themselves on occasion, keep to themselves.

The student body is very diverse. The fraternities are... well Fraternities. There are odd people, ok several odd people who I would not spend time with outside of class. The four tables in the dining hall in my opinion are.. foreigners, geeks, withdrawn people who eat alone and then the goof offs. No hot girls eat in the dining hall as they are all in Sororities. You never see hot girls after the first week again unless you are in a fraternity.
