Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

People who have bad study habits and no motivation need not even consider going to Georgia Tech. There are tough academic standards that pay off to hard working students in the end.

Someone who isn't willing to do the work needed to pass a class and is unmotivated to push him/herself.

hard worker

Most of the students who attend Georgia tech are nerdy but intelligent students who come from upper midle to high class famlies.

Unmotivated person who doesn't like to be challenged

Georgia Tech is not a party school; instead it a more focused and research based university. You have to be open to other cultures and definitely a hard worker. Also, the ratio at our school is 1:3 (male: female) so if you want to find your future wife at college, this is not the place to come.

Someone who finds it hard to fit into very different groups of people. Someone looking for a great party school or a college experience out of a movie.

Anyone who prefers hands-on learning and practical knowledge to abstract theoretical knowledge. This school focuses almost entirely on research and is ill-suited for real-world problem solving most of the time. The workload is so demanding as to be absurd. Anyone who works a part-time job to help fund their astronomical out-of-state tuition (as I do) will find this school unbelievably challenging. Anyone who wishes to have an active social life and grow emotionally should not choose this school.

Someone who is not willing go above and beyond. Tech is a fabulous school, it's just tough...

The only person who would not want to attend Georgia Tech is a student who is not prepared for the grind of constantly studying and work beyond almost any other university. Tech prides itself on "weeding out" the unworthy.
