Absolutely not! The Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts is an integral part of the campus. The Vice President of the Student Body is a double major in liberal arts.

Meh. Some students are very smart; most are not. Some are nerdy; some are jocks. And there really are twice as many men on campus as there are women, but to say that the women are unattractive is insulting and untrue.
Jesse
For the most part yes. The average GT guy or girl is of an engineering bent of mind and so is intrigued by knowledge, wanting to work and focus on the task at hand.

There's a grain of truth in every stereotype. There are some kids here who did spend all their time in academic pursuits and are still a little awkward socially. But there are also a lot of kids who are well-rounded high achievers. Fun does often take a backseat to studying (unless you're extremely gifted, it has to if you want good grades!), but it can be easily had if you try. Atlanta has a lot to offer.
Gregory
no! while there are many people that do fit this stereotype, they are small and don't emerge very often. there are many normal people who like to be social, normal, and enthusiastic about their school.
Matthew
Yes for all of them. Probably about 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white in electrical/computer engineering, the rest is minorities, so really minorities are the majority.

About Tech:
1. This is accurate in the sense that Tech is challenging. Coming from a public school, I was never challenged, and Tech has opened up a whole new world of academia to me.
2. Partly accurate; while Tech is mostly a science and engineering based school, I think the administration has been putting much effort into expanding the liberal arts college. The problem with getting a liberal arts degree from Tech, however, is that when all is said and done, you'll still have the word "Technology" on your diploma.
3. Completely and utterly false.
4. Again, completely and utterly false; Tech is FAR from any technical type school. While a lot of courses are technology BASED, they delve into a level way beyond any technical or community college does.
5. On the whole, yes. However, I think exceptions are made for certain majors (i.e. management).
About Tech's students:
1. I'd say the majority of us are of Asian descent, but we aren't ALL.
2. NO.
3. In our own ways... although I wonder about some.
4. Not hardly... this is still the Bible belt.
5. Way off...

Umm somewhat it depends on what you like. It's accepted that if you want to spend your Saturdays playing World of Warcraft, there will be someone who will share your same idea. But if you want to go clubbing then you can also find friend who do that too!

Some of the stereotypes are accurate: Tech is hard, and it is hard to make good grades in all classes, but it can be done. A lot of professors (probably over 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}) are foreign and do have heavy accents, even some TA's do not speak English as their primary language. A lot of Tech students are hard working and very smart.
But some of the stereotypes like there being few girls that attend and students being awkward in social situations are false (most of the time).

You really only get 2 out of the 3 (social life, grades, sleep). We do have a lot more fun than people would think we do.
