Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

Going to Georgia Tech means something. When you tell future employers that you graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology, that means that you put in at least four years worth of time and effort to earn a degree from one of the toughest schools in the country. Tech students go to school for the future, not the present.

One of the most unique things about Georgia Tech is how strong the sense of community is there. It is tough at times, but everyone around you is going through it as well and that creates such a family and support group throughout the entire college experience. We support each other, struggle together, and succeed together in the end.

The thing about Georgia Tech is that it gets in your blood. Sure, we may not be a football powerhouse and we may not be huge partiers, but once you're a yellow jacket, you're a yellow jacket for life. You're internationally recognized, and it's okay that it isn't for the number of national championships you've won. You're recognized for making it through one of the most challenging academic institutions in the world, and given respect that few are able to attain. You're a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech, and a helluva engineer!

Georgia Tech offers a wide variety of intramural, club, and division sports, which allows for a maximal interest rate in physical activity or just about anything a college student could be interested in. Not being a son of Georgia Tech alumni, I was surprised to learn the fight song before I even heard Tech's name or knew of its grandeur. Even the smallest things, such as the statistic showing that Tech is one of the highest number of class-days per semester, proving the diligence of Tech students.
