This is what actually drove me to enroll in the school. I knew that having a job lined-up after college would be a really good thing for both me and my family.

One of the most unique things about Georgia Tech is how strong the sense of community is there.

You're recognized for making it through one of the most challenging academic institutions in the world, and given respect that few are able to attain.

Even the smallest things, such as the statistic showing that Tech is one of the highest number of class-days per semester, proving the diligence of Tech students.
