I never had any racist assholes in my years at Tech. The professors may seem kind of aloof at times, but if you show them that you are actually trying to learn the material, they'll go out of their way to help you. You will probably get some professors that you can't understand very well, but that's just the luck of the draw, so talk to as many students as you can to avoid that.

And as a postscript, let me just say that being able to say that you went to Tech almost always elicits a good response from people. That name on your resume definitely carries a lot of weight. Now if we could just win a damn football game against those hooligans in Athens, I'd be ecstatic.
