Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

I think everyone who comes to tech has more in common than they know, although there are a couple of oddballs. Tech does have girls, more so than ever thanks to GW Clough

Most are true. The ratio and girl situation is entirley true, although the new classes are bringing in more girls! Huge Foreign Population is true (especially middle eastern and Indian populations) Boring is true for some, it depends on where you get involved Geeks is true for some, again depending on where you get involved.

Classes are really hard - the average GPA is lower than other schools, even though the students are smarter. You shouldn't expect to do as well as you did in high school, you have to remember that every student at GT earned straight A's without even trying in high school. There are cute girls, just not as many as at other schools. Girls are different here, they are all smart and there are hardly any "dumb blondes", airheads, or stereotypical sorority girls. But a lot of the girls here are pretty, they just happen to be smarter than the boys. There are some students that stay in their room all day and play video games, but it is not the majority. There are plenty of students that are totally normal and active, but there are those few that hardly ever see the light of day. The social life here is kind of lame. There are very few on campus parties and they are all at fraternity houses. But there is usually at least one good fraternity party every weekend night, there just isn't a great volume of them.

We all like school, and it is our priority. But to say that there is no social life is wrong. There is a very active social life on campus. As for the girls and guys, you find every kind of person on Tech's campus. We span the whole spectrum.

sometimes, In general Georgia Tech is what you make of it

Tech can be difficult at times, but it is not impossible to do well here if you focus and get all of your work done in a timely manner. There are all types of people here: nerdy, intelligent types and sporty people, and very extroverted students. It's a big mix. The members of the Equestrian Team are interesting, helpful, and diverse. There are even a few boys.

For the most part, yes. But, you can be a nerd during the week and have a blast on the weekends! And, there are a few great professors who make the whole thing worthwhile. As for sports, it's hit or miss with football and basketball. The baseball team is great, though, and most of the women's teams are, too.

These stereotypes are not accurate at all. In fact, life at GT is exactly the opposite. If you are involved with campus activities, not only will you get a fun-filled educational learning experience, but you will also have the time of your life!

They are to some extent. I would say Georgia Tech has its fair share of anti-social nerds, but we also have a large population of outgoing, very involved students who care about aspects of life besides grades.

1. I have met very few sociable people who are not involved in Greek life or GT athletics. I am an engineering major, and there are only two sociable people other than me in my upper-level classes. 2. Again, if you were to walk into a random management class, you would certainly see attractive girls and normal-looking guys. On the other hand, I literally take pictures of the people in my classes and send them to people because they are so goofy. 3. There are not many girls period at Tech. There are probably twenty attractive girls who are athletes in the whole school. There are probably one hundred attractive sorority girls in the whole school. As far as bitchiness is concerned...well...girls are nice when they first come to Tech, but their ego's grow very quickly. By their second semester, most girls have boyfriends. If you're not an athlete or in a fraternity, just plan on going to Athens to meet girls. If you're a KA, EX, Beta, Fiji, ATO, or TKE, and you're one of the coolest guys in your fraternity, you'll get a lot of girls. If you're of average coolness, you'll get some girls. If you suck, you should go to Athens as well. 4. School is not that hard. It's what you make of it.
