For me, Georgia Tech had its fun moments and its really difficult moments. Because it is so difficult, you tend to bond with your fellow students over copious amounts of hard liquor and …other vices. Its funny, you don't see a lot of smokers at the beginning of Fall, and then by the end of the semester half the campus smokes. I don't know anyone who doesn't have some form of chemical coping mechanism…well over half the student body is on adderall (if you're not willing to take adderall find another school. period.)



Essentially, a GT ECE education is a race against burnout. If you can make it to the end with some of your soul left, you've won! So if you're not a hard worker and a completely insensitive idea person, you're probably not going to make it through alright.



I'm going to hit Georgia Tech kind of hard, because that place damn near killed me. I would consider myself a sensitive type, considerate, easy-going, quiet. I'm somewhat in tune with the vibes, man. And once I got past the

I have to finish here
mentality, I realized I've never been to a shittier place in my entire life. Going to campus is like taking a bath in that feeling you get when you've been sitting in front of a computer for 20 hours straight playing an addicting game or reading an addicting book. You really want to get the hell out of there but you just keep going cause you want to finish…but without the interest keeping it emotionally worthwhile.



GT seems to be a magnet for broken spirits. For the girls, a common motto is

the odds are good, but the goods are odd
For the guys, imagine a campus full of those annoying snooty women you find at sports bars. You know, nice enough but with that air of impatient distance, ready to shoot you down at moment's notice.



One time I saw this girl at a party, who looked nice enough, and said hi…she says nothing, crosses her arms, and just looks at a guy across the room, who came over and told me

hey, this girl doesn't talk to dweebs
No joke. I mean, I'm nice, and a fairly good looking guy. I guess she doesn't speak to anyone who isn't a 10? And she's like a pimply 7/8. Quite frankly that was devastating.



Just a month or so ago, someone committed suicide on campus. Not too uncommon. Here's the interesting part…he was a senior. He had a semester to go. He was almost done. Think about that.



Some people here end up totally isolated and lose everything. My old roommate ended up having a breakdown, locked himself in his room and played World of Warcraft for the rest of fall and all of spring, until we had to move out for the summer, and he failed all his classes. We tried to help him but he wouldn't budge. He got kicked out, and since its hard to transfer anywhere with a 0.0 GPA. I hear he's doing well as a fast food assistant manager.



Georgia Tech is one of the few schools left where a hard-curve is common. Not the kind of curve where everyone's grade goes up, its the kind where no matter what, at the end of the semester, for example, 5% get A's, 30% get B's, 50% get C's, etc. It makes things pretty cut-throat. Stealing people's work and throwing it away or deleting it happens sometimes, it sucks.



Cheating is rampant and for some classes it is the only way to get through. Because of the way the curve is set up, the numbers don't matter. If the class average is 80 or 30 (yes 30 don't think it can't happen), you still get the same numbers of A's and B's, etc, so the professors will throw all kinds of ridiculous crap at you and let the curve sort it out. So if the averages are below 50 it makes sense to cheat cause a little will get you a lot. And if you don't and everyone else is, you get to honestly bust your ass for an F.



I'll always have great respect for anyone who can make it through here. I mean I tried to make the best of it but after 3 years I couldn't take it anymore. Don't let Tech turn you into a rambling wreck…life is too short for that. If you're the outgoing, hard-working, non-slacking, well-adjusted, willing-to-go-frat type, and already in a steady relationship, then you'll more than likely do well here. If not, there are other nationally-recognized engineering programs out there at more well-rounded universities. If you're the quiet sensitive type this place might turn you into one of those empty shells that wander around this place with their heads down, who don't even have enough spirit left in them to respond to a friendly hello other than a nervous glance at your shoes.



Don't worry about out-of-state tuition, there are always ways around it, and you pay off student loans at your own pace…I mean, you're gonna be an engineer, right? 50 grand isn't that big of a deal…when I retire I want to at least have a million put away, ya know?
