Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school can oftentimes be the lack of positivism among the students. You don't always get to see smiling faces and happiness at a predominately-engineering school, which can sometimes add on to the occassionally lackluster nature of the student body which we are infamous for. Students are often cursing at their professors and workload and spend more time expressing their stress and frustration than attempting to overcome challenges they face. I do wish we had more inspiration and encouragement available to students to keep them going.

The most frustrating thing about going to Georgia Tech was the difficulty and complexity of work and how fast and how much the professors taught at once. Professors in college move through material very quickly and if you haven't read the text book or haven't taken time to taken time to understand your notes beforehand you will get left behind. Reading and familiarizing yourself with future material was not one of the things I was taught to do in high school so the difficulty and speed of material I was expected to know definitely proved to be frustrating.

It is a split between the difficult classes and the uneven ratio of men to women.

Georgia Tech has a reputation for being a "nerdy" school because of its academics and large male to female ratio. However, someone who attends Georgia Tech knows there is so much more to this school. There are people from all different backgrounds with different interests, so I wish Georgia Tech tried to emphasize that more. Most students will also say that the most frustrating thing is the workload, but I believe that the rigorous course work is for the best, and will teach the students to be independent har workers.

The dining hall is slightly far away from my dorm and the food is mediocre at best, so I end up skipping many meals each week, which is an unhealthy lifestyle choice for any student.

Being at this school requires you study more hours than you. There are many opportunities to get involved with other groups and grow your circle of friends, but then they will get in the way of your acedemic life.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the difficulty level of some classes. Sometimes I do feel a bit overwhelmed by some of the curriculum, but so far I have been able to make it through all of my classes with good grades. This school has challenged me in ways that I never imagined, but despite the frustration, I believe it will be worth it.

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

The most frustrating thing about school is being able to understand the material that is taught in lectures and applying them to the exams. Sometimes the test material is straight forward and reflects the homework given, but a lot of the times, the test material either strays far from what we have seen or doesn't relate at all to what was taught in lecture. Having a greater consistency in course material will foster a more efficient learning environment.

In my first year of college, it was frustrating to see many of my friends enjoying their freshman year with a lot less stress than my fellow peers and myself had at Tech. Many times, I want to transfer just because of how difficult the classes are. It was difficult adjusting as a freshman from the high school curriculum to the intense Tech load.
