Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

Georgia Tech as a whole has a great reputation and a degree from Georgia Tech is highly respected. The greek system at Georgia Tech is another great part of tech. Tech's central location in Atlanta allows students many opportunities to attend major events that take place in the city. The campus is a good size, but walking to classes is still manageable. The only bad thing about Georgia Tech is the fact that the administration seems to be more focused on their research than their students.

Many students complain about how rigorous the course at Georgia Tech are, which turns into people thinking the faculty is trying to fail students on purpose. However, this level of difficulty is what makes Georgia Tech so great because this leads to meaningful degrees which can land graduates lucrative and successful jobs. The gender ratio is something that I would change because it makes finding romance in college very hard to come by. Many students spend a lot of their time studying in the library, but I prefer the comfort of my own room to do all of my studying. When I tell people that I go to Georgia Tech, they generally seem very impressed by that. I feel that since it is a tough school to be successful, the comradery between the students fosters a great deal of school pride. Overall, I would say that Georgia Tech is a fantastic school to attend and to get a degree despite insane classes and a lot of stress, it will all be worth it in the end.

Georgia Tech has an amazing reputation. When you tell people you go to Georgia Tech, they usually say "wow, you must be smart". Tech is the perfect size; not so large that you feel lost in the crowd, and not so small that you know everyone's name. There is tons of school pride, especially surrounding football and our rivalry with UGA.Tech's location is unique, because it's in the city, but still has that college-campus feel. Recent controversy has involved crime on campus and in the surrounding areas.

Georgia Tech provides every student who attends an unique journey in which you cannot find elsewhere. Tech combines the best of academics and athletics towards making every student a competent global citizen. From its groundbreaking research to its top ACC rated football team, and from its world-class faculty to its brilliant campus lifestyle, students take part in the ultimate time of their lives here while developing for professional careers.

The school is the right size for a focused engineering place but small as a proper university with diverse programs. The faculty is good in the engineering areas but fluctuate a lot in the others. Most of the time will be spent in the library, dorm or places for studying. The administration are facilitators but not really counsellors. There is a lot of school pride and it shows in sports and other academic competitions. The one thing I will always remember is that GT taught me how to never give up and always find a solution to a problem.

I see a mixture of admiration and pit when I tell people what school I go to. I completely understand, because it's a love/hate relationship. GT is one of those places you will curse up and down, but defend bitterly when non-Techies degrade it. There is a lot of school spirit hidden beneath the sarcastic comments we all make. Like any other Tech student, I question my choice of school from time to time. At the end of the day though, I can't imagine myself anywhere else. I've made some unforgettable friends and become a campus leader. And even though the classes can be hard, I enjoy the intellectual challenge. Grad school will be a piece of cake after Georgia Tech! If you can get through this school, you can do anything.

it's just right! there are enough students that you see lots of familiar people that you know while walking around but also many new people to make friends.

School is just the right size, medium. The campus is very well organized and alot of buildings are new. Sports/athletics are awesome and alot of fun, alot of tradition being that we have the oldest football stadium in all of the united states. Ga Tech profs are mostly horrible and are out to get you at every corner.

I think I'll answer each of the suggested topics. The best thing about Tech, for me, is amount of challenges it presents to me, academically. Like I said above, I was never challenged in high school, and Tech has brought that to me, and more. I've learned more in the past two years at Tech than I learned in 12 years of public education. There is never NOT something to figure out in your classes... which to me is great. I would change the level of commitment of the professors. Since Tech is major research university, sometimes I feel that the professors are made to teach to extend their tenures and research groups, and don't really care about the courses they teach or how their students do in them. I feel it's just the right size, although I wouldn't mind it being larger. Whenever I say I go to Tech, the first thing people say is "Wow, you must be really smart". Since I don't live on campus, most of my time is spent either in classes or in the management building's study rooms. Atlanta is huge, so it would be hard to call it a college town because of its diverse nature. That being said, one can usually find something to do whenever, although it gets boring at times. The administration at Tech is alright... could be better, but could definitely be much worse. Controversy........We don't honestly have much of that... The City of Atlanta fosters attitudes of cohesiveness in its self, and I feel like Tech does its best to promote a unified campus, regardless of differences. There is a crap ton of school pride.. makes me kinda sick at times... The biggest abnormality about Tech is its students... you meet so many people who are way over your head all the time, and I definitely don't think it happens as much at other schools. I'll always remember the first Tech v. Notre Dame football game. There weren't enough tickets to get in, but my friend and I just walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere...and drinks. Most frequent complaints.... "This is so hard"; "I don't understand why we need to know this stuff".. mostly about the classes.

Georgia tech has a small campus, but it's really beautiful.
