Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

There's not really anything that is frustrating about the school. The most frustrating thing was having a real bad roommate my first semester. We were on opposite schedules and she had no respect for my need to go to sleep early in order to wake up in time for early classes.

Georgia Tech is a very challenging school. There is no let up or down tome. They make sure you are busy with tests, projects, class work, home work, and outside work such as community service and extracurricular activities. It makes you really manage your time because if you don not it is clear that you will not graduate. It is also the best thing because it makes you a far superior person in the real business world.

Paperwork processing takes too long.

The most frustrating thing about Georgia Tech would be the traffic /parking problem near and around campus. I usually walk everywhere I go just because sometimes its just faster to walk rather than drive your car to class. If you are lucky to find a parking spot on campus after waiting in the traffic, you have to pay to park unless you buy a parking pass that is over 600 dollars for a year's worth of parking that continues to rise in price as you read this.

For me, the most frustrating thing is running into the occasional narcissistic know it all. Other than that, there really aren't many things that frustrates me around here.

It would have to be the amount of work we get and the crazy tests the teachers think up. Some times we're tested on things we haven't been taught or barely touched on.

School.

Your have to work very hard for an A

The teachers don't always accommodate for every type of student.

The workload if you get behind. As long as you stay on top of your work, it isn't very bad.

Having TA's that don't speak english......and as a result are absolutly no help!

certain outmoded policies are almost impossible to change and many employees (not faculty) are very traditional, illogical, and resistant to change

There are often times where you invest a lot of time into your studies at Georgia Tech and do not receieve the grades you feel you deserve.

Classes are very tough and without enough dedication and effort it is easy to fall behind. The students do not support the athletic teams with enough spirit.

Campus Life

How each professor assighns way more work than it is possible to keep up with if one is taking more than 12 hours.

Sometimes the teachers(or TAs) are very hard to understand, given their accents.

Very difficult.

Most of the professors don't speak english well at all. A lot of the professors make the classes really hard just for fun, like I got a 49/100 on my first test in calculus 3, but the average was only a 19/100 so I actually got an A on that test. Some classes with the same name are very different. My friend and I both took english 1102. My teacher had us reading Plato, Aristotle, Nieche, etc, and his teacher had him watching movies and writing about them. So unfair.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the degree of difficulty of the classes.
