Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about this school also makes it the best thing about this school: academics. Tech is a very competitive school as far as academics are considered. The professors at Tech will push you to your limits, and make you work harder than you ever thought you could work. Yet at the same time, the amount of work you put in here at Tech will pay you back several times over once you become a Georgia Tech graduate.

The worst thing about the school is the male to female ratio. If you are a guy, don't plan to find a girl here unless you bring one with you or you are the type of guy that already has that part of life under control. If you are a girl, I guess this would be good for you, but this could be kind of bad if you aren't single. The school says the male to female ratio is getting a little better but when you go to class here, you would think otherwise.

The worst thing would probably have to be that that it seems some of the genious professors can't teach. Probably because they are mostly concerned with their research.

The attitude that students have regarding their work load and the wide concensus that taking the minimum number of credits for 5 years is worthwhile.

The work load is tremeandous. Georgia Tech expects A LOT from students. There is an extremely rigorous course load involved, and I would consider it a very high-stress environment.

The best part about Georgia Tech is also the worst part about the school. It is very challenging academically. As a student, you have to remain focus on academics or they can get away quick. Sometimes I will end up having 3 or 4 test in a week. Those weeks are the hardest, because each class is important so you are try to study as much as possible. Usually you get a break after a test, but when you have 3 or 4 in a week, it grinds on you mentally.

I think the classes are a little too difficult to actually learn and keep in your brain. Most students tend to learn things the day of class and then end up forgetting. Most students also end up cramming too much information right before the test.

The work load and the teachers not always being able to speak english and how unfriendly a lot of the studdents are.

The students are so anti social. Most students idea of fun is playing video games. Most students do not work, their parents pay for them so they do not appreciate the value of money.

The worst thing about this school is there is only ten minutes between classes ending and then next scheduled one beginning. With a very large campus and unreliable shuttle system, getting to the next classroom can be difficult.
