Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

The only thing about my school that I would like to change are the variety of classes offered. We are an engineering school, which means our graduates will need to pitch ideas someday, probably, and we don't even offer Public Speaking. Also, the rigors of Tech would be a lot less stressful if we offered some art classes, more options to take a break from all the science and engineering. So, a better variety of classes offered would be my one critique.

I would consider the social life the worst thing about this school because I haven't been able to find a girl to be with and that causes me to feel lonely.

cost of out-of-state tuition, amount of time spent studying

It's very challenging and as such, the "college experience" here tends to be a little bit diffferent than what most students expect it to be coming in from hs.

Pressure to study

STRESS OF THE TEST

I don't know if I would say it's the "worst" thing, but what I dislike the most is the lack of minority students that contribute to the school population.

The accepted 5-years-to-get-your-bachelor's curse. It is very common to meet 5th and 6th year undergrads--I love college but I don't think it should drag out so long

All of the bindge drinking because of the high pressure levels.

The worst thing about this school is a lot of people think they're geniuses.. They think that the only intelligent people in this world are males who are great at engineering. I'm a liberal arts major, so people look down on me a lot since I'm a girl and I don't like math and science. They don't realize that just because I don't like working with numbers doesn't mean I'm not really smart, too. It's horribly annoying to be judged for doing something different than the majority of other people here.

The campus is very spread out. Sometimes it takes 15-20 minutes to walk from one class to the next and at certain times its impossible to get on the bus because its completely full.

The fact that the professors turn the subjects I like into a lving hell.

The workload is a lot, especially come midterm/finals time, when it just seems to be never ending and a lot of the time the professors seem to think the only class that is important to you is that single one. when it [the schoolwork] rained, it poured.

There is a lot of work to do in all classes, which means a lot of stress.

The complaint I hear the most is the lack of relevant teaching in the classroom to what is actually on the test. Many people come out of a test and say "Well I wish he had taught that during class" or something of that nature. I think an easy remedy to this problem is student and faculty engagement in class. Granted are classes are larger than other campuses classes, if the faculty was more engaged in class it would make a difference - the few classes where faculty is already engaged attest to that fact that is helps!

The absense of females. Because it makes it difficult to get one. Look of TBS on urban dictionary. Tech Bitch Syndrome. The girls here think they are way hotter than they are because they have no competition.

The worst thing about my school are the actual classes because they're very difficult and I feel like most of the teachers don't really care about whether or not you pass or fail so long as they get their money for research (they teach on the side).
