Review of Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
from St Augustine, FL
Describe your college in three sentences.
one of the top engineering schools in the nation. Great CO-OP and Internship program.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
if you are an in-state student, gt places maximums on how many students can be accepted from your high school per year. get your foot in the door somehow- distance calculus, dual enrollment, an internship, etc. a visit will not cut it because so many people are doing the same thing. GT loves diversity. make yourself an outlier somehow: start a business, be in an underrepresented group, be from a state or country that sends few students to tech, have ivy-caliber stats, or write about something ridiculous about yourself in your application.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes at tech are very difficult- but there's a reason for that. students get snapped up by the big corporations that are moving into Atlanta before graduation. these companies are seeking employees that are prepared and intelligent- and after four or so years you will be. these classes will push you- just make sure to study.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
These are small dorms, but it's worth it to live on campus.Dorm life is comfortable and an overall pleasant experience. It depends on who your roommate is, but I made a great group of friends just based on where I lived.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Not the best, not the worst food
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I love Georgia Tech's location because you are so close to Midtown and then Downtown. I love attending concerts, so there are several venues close to campus. I also love the atmosphere of Midtown's shopping and dining. Downtown also has several attractions, including Zoo Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park, and Philips Arena.
