Georgia Tech - One of the Best Public Universities in the U.S.

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 16 '01
Pros: Great education, Tremendous job opportunities upon graduation
Cons: LOTS of work, often 5-6 years to graduate
Ever wonder if college could really be that hard? Well, if you go to Georgia Tech, it will be. On the other hand, you'll also get a great job when you graduate -- according to Georgia Tech's Career Services Department, Tech graduates average starting...

Georgia Tech: pink parachutes, the shaft, and most likely a good job

by pipet Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 05 '02
Pros: You'll be well prepared for the future; often hands-on experience is gained
Cons: High dropout/flunk-out rate; survival of the fittest
"I survived Georgia Tech."

This is not an uncommon sentiment from Georgia Institute of Technology graduates (GaTech for short). Why, you may ask? Is it really that tough? Why would you go to a school where the graduates felt that...

If you want luxury, this is not the place to be

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 03 '00
Pros: Closer to campus, Much easier than commuting
Cons: Small, Old
Luxury is not the keystone of dorm life at Georgia Tech. Incoming freshmen can expect to be put in small rooms with 1-3 other people, and there is typically one large, public restroom per floor. The West Campus dorms are generally better than those on...

Only Serious Students Need Apply

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 13 '00
Pros: Valuable degree
Cons: You'll have to work hard!
As a bachelor's degree becomes more of a necessity in today's working world, most colleges and universities are actively and furiously moving towards improving their academic programs.

At Georgia Tech, however, it's pretty much just business...

Aerospace Engineering - Rocket Science and then some

by rue , Apr 04 '00
Pros: Top 5 in nation, great faculty, few grad student teachers, good facilities
Cons: Some foreign faculty, some difficulty scheduling classes, advisors not always helpful.
Consistently rated among the top five aerospace engineering department in the country, Georgia Tech's AE department has much to offer the budding rocket scientist.

I spent five years as a Georgia Tech engineering major and while I didn't enjoy...

Tech's not perfect, but let's give it a fair shake..

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 18 '00
Pros: Excellent school
Cons: Hard work, and lots of it
Note: This comment is in response to an awful, ridiculous, and almost entirely untrue opinion written by cameltoe. I have purposely failed to include a link, as I don't want him to make any extra money on his opinion as a result of my response. If...

Get ready to work...

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 13 '00
Pros: Great reputation, good training for life
Cons: Lots of hard work
...like you've never worked before -- at least that's the experience that many new students at Georgia Tech seem to have. I've heard several times since long before I ever applied to Tech that "the hard part's not getting in, it's staying...

Academics and Social Life Just Don't Mix

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 03 '00
Pros: There are parties sometimes
Cons: You'll rarely have time to go to any without blowing off an assignment or test
If you're looking for a school where you can party 24/7 and still get A's and B's in your classes, keep looking. At Georgia Tech, you'll be lucky to make C's and D's if you don't spend lots of time studying. Sure, there will be occasional frat...

The Most Important Lesson in Life...

by nhawkGT , Jan 08 '01
Pros: Education, value, reputation
Cons: Difficulty, campus, being shafted
Although there are many MANY ways to leave early, there are only 2 ways to succeed at Georgia Tech:

1) be truly gifted. Not just smart, but genius-level smart.
2) work your ass off for 4-6 years. This is the boat I'm in.

I'm...

Keep in mind this is my epinion, don't need any backlash from you Yellow Jackets out there who disagree with me, you guys have a wonderful school, it's just not right for me ;)...

You wanna be an engineer, check out Tech

by groove10 , Jan 19 '00
Pros: Great technical education, great city
Cons: maybe engineering isn't your thing
For those of you who are considering a technical field, particularly engineering, you better make Georgia Tech on your short list of schools. If you live in Georgia, then I'm sure that this is already the case, as Georgia residents pay only $3,000 in...

Not bad for a freshman dorm, but one year here is plenty

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 07 '00
Pros: On East side, Near Athletic Complex & Intramural Fields
Cons: Moderately far from classes and Student Center
Let's face it -- Georgia Tech can be a pretty scary place for an inexperienced freshman. Classes are tough, the social scene can take some time to get going, and everything is all so new. Sometimes, at the end of a long day, all you'll want to do is go...

DramaTech: Oldest continually operating theater in Atlanta

by rue , Feb 01 '00
Pros: Technologically oriented, excellent facilities, faculty support, great community, quality productions
Cons: It's college theater. It's not for everyone. It can take as much or as little time as needed.
Georgia Tech is an outstanding engineer, science and computer school.
It's also home to the oldest continually operating theater in the city of Atlanta. Not bad for a bunch of engineers.

DramaTech was started in 1942-1943 and has been in...

Three Square Meals a Day...or Something

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 03 '00
Pros: Lots of choices
Cons: Sometimes hard to get to, Busy at times
Everyone's heard horror stories about college dining halls, but the ones at Georgia Tech don't fit that image. Whether you're vegetarian, or you eat at odd hours, or you have some other special food-related need, they've probably got you covered....
