georgia tech

[LSTurboHatch]

so who all goes to georgia tech. i plan to go there in the spring. last year i went to UAH in huntsville, and this semester i am going to UTC here in chattanooga. GT is my dream school so hopefully ill be there. im currently an MAE student but ill probably just stick with mechanical at GT.

[efman]

do they still cruise that "L" in Cleveland?

[bigdare23]

I'm a ME major at tech. I hope you have good study habits LOL.

[ShooterMcGavin]

gl at tech

[osnap]

talk to VooDooXIII... Im pretty sure he goes to Tech

[Kyle]

Me me me. Dont know how tech could be someones dream school though. Doing fucktons of work isnt too dreamy to me.

[Driftk1d350z]

i got into tech, but im not going there...im gonne be a doctor instead of an engineer

[MR2DR]

i got into tech, but im not going there...im gonne be a doctor instead of an engineer

that's why you major in the sciences

[IndianStig]

im going to sa tate for international economics.

im pretty sure i want to do something along the lines of business development so pretty much i just gotta get some bullshit degrees, learn the basics and bullshit my way into a 200$k/yr position.


BTW, voodooxii

he know it all
his sig says it all though

[VooDooXII]

See sig...

EDIT: Thanks Mehul.

I hope you're a eunuch. Women here are few and far between...but other than that, it's a good school...you'll get quite a college experience here.

dude techs in the heart of atlanta i dont think it should be to hard to find girls, unless your the type that sucks at getting girls....

Pretty much...but I never got out much anyway. If you're doing engineering at Tech, you'll definitely be bogged down with work...so there's little time to yourelf. Check my sig...haha.

As for the girls bit...that's a different story, but don't judge me.

If you're under 21 and not in a frat good luck. Frat scene is the main social life on campus, and thats where the girls are. And if you're not in a frat you can go to bars. But if you're under 21 it still sucks. Thats the way it is puto.

TRUTHERY

Damn near any attractive girl is a ZTA...and you must be in a frat to even think about getting near them. I found that out firsthand...what a bitch.

Def. Zetas and AD Pi's are both pretty good. But being in a frat def. gives you the upper hand IMO.

I'm going to be the one to disagree with this statement. There are plenty of available girls at Tech and the ratio evens out when you factor out guys that sit in front of their computer screens all day or go to parties and dont bother hitting on girls. That being said, I've always looked elsewhere for girls and just might graduate Tech without ever having been in a serious relationship with a Tech girl. You're in the middle of Atlanta, there's always house parties with kegs and girls if you're under 21. Join a club and meet people, they'll have parties and then you can meet more people. If you're living in a freshmen dorm there are lots of girls that will go crazy since they just moved out of mommy and daddy's house.

Being in a frat makes no difference in getting girls unless you're aiming for the girls that are in sororities. Again, like I said above, go to house parties in Home Park and you will find loose bitches.

Engineering is no joke at Tech, I lasted 2.5 years of AE and ME before finally switching to International Affairs. I'm much happier now and there are a lot more girls in the classes, not like that really matters to me. Its kind of nice going to classes and being able to focus on the material and not be distracted by girls, although the eye candy can help when the topics being discussed are boring.

Actually I've never thought of it that way, but you are kinda right. That's a good point haha.

[LSTurboHatch]

^^ ive heard that GT was rough. i may just stay at UTC. UAH wasnt so bad, but there were absolutely no good looking women there.

do they still cruise that "L" in Cleveland?

yep just about every night. friday and saturdays are the big nights though.

[changaroo]

tech is rough... deans list is a 3.0, so that should tell you something. most ivy leagues deans lists are at 3.5 ish...

so yeah.

Yeah its tough for a lot of people. Most of the ppl at tech are the kids who didnt ever have to study or do work in high school to do well. That does not work at tech

BTW: When you move in after christmas break you get to hear great stories in the hall of GPA's under 2.0 and how they lost the hope. Not me though

This makes me so fucking sad because it fits me to a T.

[VooDooXII]

There are some good looking girls here, but it's NOTHING compared to places like Emory, or State, or UGA.

In fact...I got this from wikipedia through imbosile, who's another GTer.

Other school initiatives aimed at improving student life include the administration's efforts to boost female enrollment at the school. Historically, female enrollment at engineering institutions has been quite low, and Georgia Tech is no exception. With about twice as many male students as females, Georgia Tech has one of the most unbalanced male-to-female ratios of any co-ed university.

what a lie.
girls that go to tech get an automatic +5 to their ratings

[keevo54]

Whats it called again? Tech goggles, haha. UGA is more fun and a hell of a lot easier

Southern Poly beasts GT on the Male To Female Ratio... by a long, long shot.

not to sound like a snob but that GT degree "beasts" a degree from southern by a long, long shot as well.

lol you got me

I dunno, I know a guy who majored with an ME and can only get a job as a waiter @ O'Charley's

but I have my reasons for going to SPSU over GT ( lol its sad that architecture isn't an accredited major @ GT but it is @ SPSU )

u'll always have the runts of the litters, doesn't mean they fuck up the avg salary and positions of the others though

[Deke]

It's a great school, and it will definitely put you ahead in life. Just don't come here for the ultimate party experience. I mean, I personally have a great time, but much greater times could be had elsewhere (UGA).

[changaroo]

or you can just go to tech weekdays, and go to UGA for the weekends :P to get best of both worlds.

did that for a bit, until gas started getting expensive :S

You drive a Civic! 30+ mpg!

I should try that sometime though.

[Tracy]

Dan went to Tech and he's a bitch boy.

[Nemesis]

We have an intern here at RedHat that goes to Tech, anyone know Jake Nunn?

There is around 20k students at tech George. What are the chances asshat?

[IDCoconut]

I think if you're looking to get a more hands on experience you should be at SPSU. Also, SPSU is known in GA, so if you plan to stay here, you're good to go. If not, then you better get your PE asap if you are going to SPSU.

Honestly, more SPSU students get hired right off the bat from graduation compared to GT graduates. Mainly because there are usually more GT graduates and that MOST of them have no experience what-so-ever and have low, low GPA's. SPSU students can have a 2.5 and still get hired at a decent 45k job because he/she's got a focus on their study (HVAC, Machine Design, etc.) and USUALLY have experience via co-op or internship. I'm not arguing that SPSU is better, because it isn't. But sometimes one has to know his/her limits and know what is best for his/her situations. That includes money. We all know starting out, a GT degree will take you further, but once you're a PE, most of that is thrown out of the window.

Just wondering, but what is the avg. starting salary of GT ME graduates? I know in 2006, SPSU's was around 44k for an MET graduate, which isn't bad at all. That is 3k less than GT ME graduates in 2003, which was at 47k.

if spsu is known in ga then that's automatically insinuating that gt is known ALL OVER

hmmm why is that i wonder...

dunno, but i'm pretty sure u can find out somewhere on their website. and it's not bad at all, but tech definitely has more "brand recognition" so u could just as easily get a top notch job outside of the state and oftentimes go further w/it in the long run.

I know many GT students that get hired before they even graduate

we'll damn, if thats the case. we should all transfer to SPSU since you make it sound like a miracle GT alternative.

something tells me this guy goes there and is in denial -.-

btw tech has an amazing co op program, so before you say anthing about experience, its there.

btw undergrad ME salaries are at around ~55k i believe.

[sleepys4]

I thought about going there, Still thinking about transferring. Every time i do that, some that goes there always steers me away. Probably for good reason, i can't imagine doing the studying some of my friends do. Makes my head hurt just looking at them.

[IDCoconut]

Lol. you guys are taking this too personal. Did you even read half of my post?

I was just stating the differences and to let people know how it is. Not saying SPSU is better than GT at all. Did you all read this?

"I'm not arguing that SPSU is better, because it isn't. But sometimes one has to know his/her limits and know what is best for his/her situations. That includes money. We all know starting out, a GT degree will take you further, but once you're a PE, most of that is thrown out of the window."

If you're one of the 1.5-2.0 GPA'ers in GT, don't be looking to transfer to SPSU and do that much better.

Some of you just need to calm down.

Just to give you some background, I had the choice of going to Auburn, GA Southern, GT, or SPSU. I'm going to SPSU because I really liked it and what my situation was at the time.
