The best thing is the tradition here at Georgia Tech. The school has always been known as a great academic school, so when you tell people you go to Georgia Tech, they know how smart you are and how hard you are working. Besides academics there is so much tradition in sports. Georgia Tech is one of the top athletic programs in the country and has been for a long time.

Everyone at my school seems to have a general understanding and appreciation for what Tech is. They all know how challenging most of the classes are and how their GPAs at Tech are unlikely to be anywhere near what they were in high school and that there will be countless nights with little to know sleep. Overall, the school has a generally cynical yet humorous understanding of the challenges that face the students, which tends to bind students together as a larger community. It's kind of hard to describe; you have to be there.

The balance between academic achievement and sports is the best thing about Georgia Tech. It shows the well rounded ness of the school.

I know that when I graduate I will be leaving a lot more intelligent and well prepared than I ever could've imagined.
