Georgia Tech Review

Was here 2010-2014. I see and hear about how it's becoming a "woke" campus. I just say stay smart, practical, and don't get brainwashed. Loved my college experience at GT. I'm now a physician but find that people really respect GT whenever my undergraduate engineering studies come up.

It's among top universities of United States of America Visited two - three times.

This is a technical college. Studying here is a bit on the expensive side, but considering the facilities and the enthusiasm of the academic staff, its worth it. The campus it self is pretty small and compact. Not much greenery to boast of (well then again it is in a city).

Beautiful. Went to school here in a distance program. Enjoyed my visit for graduation.

Nice people and good vibes. Definitely recommend visiting.

The best engineering college in the Southeast..

It is a school of sisterhood relationship with Pohang University of Korea.

It's located in downtown Atlanta, so it's a really good school...

Great school for engineering and sciences. Fun traditions. Best 5 years of my life

I graduated Georgia Tech this spring with a half in person half online degree. This college can be hell and no doubt a hard degree, but it is clear to me that a degree here is valuable and increases in value every year. I trust the adminstration to continue progress and I trust the student body more to innovate and push the campus forward.

Love how the university is in the middle of Atlanta

This place looks like a research facility. It's beautiful and the institute itself is one of the best places in the world to study Engineering and other disciplines. It's also close to the downtown. Really great.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

What do you really review a university on? Rethinking it, you can't review on sole primary purpose, because then all you could review restaurants on is the food, and bars on their alcohol.

That being said, let's factor the following in, starting from 3:
*Academics +2 (one of the top 5 engineering schools in the nation)
*Social Life -2
*Career Office & Programs +1 (very nice and willing to help you find a job both while at and after school)
*Housing -1
*Parking -1
*Location +2 (being in the middle of a city and next to the train rocks)
*Campus Transportation -1

Anyone that goes here knows the ratio of men to women sucks, which in turn affects the social aspect of the school, whether you want it to or not. As such, it's best to make some friends outside of the school to avoid staying in the campus bubble.

Impressive! State of the art pool and nap rooms. LEED buildings. Right next to downtown Atlanta. The campus is beautiful and they are building new things right now. Everyone seems nice.

hello my name is jesus joaquin i want to know a little about this university would like to have an opportunity to have more knowledge of this university. I live in Bolivia a noble country. I would like to see if my knowledge could come to this university. I would take my profession my dream at the University of Georgia

High quality courses and a beautiful campus. Go Jackets!

Georgia Tech is one of the best public universities in the U.S.

It's a beautiful, clean, and very high tech University in Atlanta. While Atlanta is a great city, Georgia Tech adds a good amount of green peace to the otherwise grey area.

Largest and one of the very best engineering colleges in the US.

Fantastic school with amazing programs and incredible opportunities. I really enjoyed my time at this school.

My Dad graduated from Tech in 1922. When I graduated from Columbus Hi in 1953 I didn't have a clue as to what I wanted to study in college. My Dad said "you're going to Tech" The freshman orientation speech included the phrase " Look at the man on your left and right. Only one of you will be here at graduation. He was right . I was in the 2/3 rds who didn't make it. But I gave it a hella an effort. From the first I struggled. I was on probation one quarter, off the next. Very stressful. Two consecutive quarters on probation and you were OUT. I managed to last until the1st quarter of my junior year. Then physics did me in. I remember sitting in physics class and thinking to myself, no way am I ever going to understand this. ( electricity) . I knew it was all over for me. I was probably the most miserable person in the US. I wanted to just get up and leave but my pride wouldn't let me.

I did a brief stint at UGA in Forestry. Another bad career choice for me. Then Georgia State. At last I hit the right major. I went from the Dean's list at Tech ( the one you did not want to be on) to the one you did want to be on. Those 2 + years at Tech were a great preparation for any future studies.

I checked " loved it" above but it was a bittersweet experience. I loved being a Tech student. That "T" on my car window was a source of pride to me. Do I wish I had graduated from Tech ? Yes but it was not meant to be.
I loved the Ramblin Wreck parade. My favorite entry was the wagon pulled by a Rat. The wagon had a bedpan filled with lemonade and and baby ruth candy bars. Every now and then the Rat would take sip of the lemonade and a bite of a baby ruth. Priceless. I loved the pep rally which got out of hand and resulted in the students ( mostly freshman with their art caps on) marching on the Fox theature. We crashed the entry and lined up in the aisles singing I'm a Ramblin Wreck. I later got picked up by the police as 4 of us lifted a VW beatle up on the sidewalk. They put me in the police car and followed the "rioters" for a while. Then they drove me back to the campus. Nice guys.

Georgia State was nothing like that. A very serious hardworking group with no college shenanigans.
That was what I needed at that time. ( I don't mean to imply that Tech students weren't hardworking. You didn't stay at Tech if you weren't) At that time Ga State was still primarily a night school but was transitioning to offering a chance for full time students. Ga State's history includes Tech The original name was The Georgia Tech Evening School of Commerce. Later the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia. Then Georgia State College of Business Administration. Now Georgia State University.

I'm very grateful for those bittersweet years at Tech. I wouldn't change it even if I had known then what the outcome would be.

One final comment. Robert E Lee Dodd is a legend . However I will never forgive him for taking Tech out of the SEC

Dodd was the coach at Tech then and Wally Butts was the coach at Georgia.
Hence the motto " In Dodd we trust to beat Georgia's Butts
I loved being in the grandstands watching the likes of Pepper Rodgers, Leon Hardeman Billy Teas, the Morris brothers etc.

Couldn't understand Nga Lee (Sally) Ng's english. It was very poor. I didn't pay for a class I couldn't understand.

The Graduate Admissions Office was my destination. The graduate advisors were very supportive and guided me thoroughly. They were quick and helped me resolve my queries satisfactorily. There is some construction project going on so the entrance is down the Tech tower behind the Graduate Admissions Building on Cherry street. This office is located on level 3 followed by a bridge n short passage past which we find it on our right hand! It's the beginning of Fall and I guess many people need to know this

Spent 4 months there. Hope I return back for the graduate school there in 2017.

Update: In fact, I started the graduate school there January 7, 2017. Thanks God for this thing.

Good college. Very good cafes nearby. Good for spending the day and working

Acceptable, but less than what one might call exclusive.

Georgia Institute of Technology is really the best in Atlanta, from facilities and instruction to research. Professors are very qualified and a bit strict with the right attitude but its a fun environment especially with your hard-working classmates.

Where I got my masters degree at. They are the best school in Georgia! I may be biased. Probably not. :)

Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, or a more abbreviated form, GT, is a public research university based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is followed by university campuses in Savannah, Georgia, Metz, France, Athlone, Ireland, Shanghai, China, and Singapore. The total budget of the Institute is US $ 1.324 billion

Tech has lots of competent professors who act and grade arbitrarily. It requires students to work in teams but gives no groundrules, procedures, methodologies, or control systems for teamwork. For instance, after doing teamwork, one evaluates team members, but no one knows this until after the fact. To get team members to improve their performance, weekly evaluation feedback to each would be useful, but systems do not allow for this. In sum, Tech requires teamwork without teaching how to do it or providing any performance improvement tools for teams.

This campus is beautiful and has a great sense of community. Even though the campus is right in the heart of Atlanta, they have done a great job of leaving the college feel and really separating it from the city.

The Whole school is just amazing. It gives you a good degree and you get to experience Atlanta college life. The yellow jackets also have great traditions like the rambling wreck

The degree will be great, but you will probably hate every day spent at Georgia Tech.

GATech is undoubtedly one of the best institutions in the nation and the world when it comes to technology, computing, engineering, and business. In the heart of midtown Atlanta, in the middle of the action. Has seen enormous growth in the past 20 years, along with the whole area, fueled by amazing innovation & entrepreneurship. Tech square is an excellent example of what an innovation hub should be (others pale by comparison), with young fresh ideas, good guidance, and seed funding. Also has very close ties to the college of computing (an absolute star in its own right). Being at and around GTech, has the feel (and many advantages) of a big city, but perhaps one of the most affordable ones around the US. Classes are much smaller (and likely higher quality) than other top public institutions like UCLA & UCB! Lots of things to do around Tech; from theaters, music halls, museums, parks, and a richness of restaurants and cuisines, you almost never run out of options. Great experience all around for sure!!

Such a truly fantastic school! You really can't beat the diverse environment with students from all over the world! My personal favorite is that your are smack in the middle of Atlanta with easy access to the interstate so you can scoot around town and really enjoy all that Atlanta has to offer! I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great quality education on a modern campus!

Graduated Tech with a Master's and enjoyed every minute of my time here. Industry leaders for professors, challenging coursework, and phenomenal gym made it worth every penny.

there was a lot of traffic to get there but once we got there the experience of ga tech was surreal

No matter what you study, this is the place to study it. The academic rigor, the environment and the city prepare you for real life. You're working with some of the smartest people in the world, yet they are humble and helpful. The campus is in Atlanta, in Midtown, which is a great place to be. Research and innovation are highly prized and encouraged, allowing you to work with some of the top researchers in the world from early in your undergraduate years.

A great place to study and be...

Beautiful campus, you can't even tell you're in the middle of Atlanta. The people are nice and there are many nice spots to sit at and enjoy nature around you. The local police keep the place nice

I graduated Georgia Tech BSEE in 1987. Moved back to my native Ohio in 2000 to find opportunity in my field. Many dirty tricks were played on me at Tech. My degree has never opened any doors. My degree is a disappointment, and I feel betrayed. The school is not safe, you will meet enemies there, who will cyber attack you for the rest of your life. I get obscene posts on youtube by people from Georgia, people I have never even met. There is no oversight and no one looking out for the underdog students, there.
When I went there, the Computer Science school denied all EE's classes in programming. Thus, I had no programming when I graduated, yet, all the jobs in Georgia were for programming (C++, Unix, Java, etc.). Even the EE jobs wanted programming. Any college that denies a student learning like this should loose their ABET accreditation. The EE program is useless. Only CS is any good, and results in any good opportunity. I had nightmares for many years after graduation, and I have few if any good memories of the place. Lack of industry and high tech employers greet you after graduation in Atlanta. Abandon all hope, ye who enter.

I would recommend for upcoming students to come and learn more at this school if you're real tech-y or just love drama and theatre and all that. By the way, the uLoL team here is awesome! GEORGIA TECH FTW!!!

I think there's a loyalty between you and your juniors.

I heard this is a nice place and the staff is very nice to heard.

Because it is good for people that want to be a scientist when they grow up like me , so I would go to GA Tech

best university in the world for engineering loved it

I got my bachelors and Masters here in civil engineering and have no complaints. GaTech is the best bang for your buck as an engi-school. If you can get in, go cause you won't be disappointed!
