I chose to come to Georgia Tech my senior year in high school. I didn't think it would be too bad since a bunch of my high school classmates were coming to Tech also and my Dad went here. I knew it was ranked highly in engineering so to be honest I was pretty excited about it.

I slept through FASET thinking the fun is yet to come, however the worst was yet to come. The schoolwork I learned was incredibly boring and monotonous. Not to mention you get tons of it. I was busy pretty much every night. You learn soon that the professors are there to research and they see any instruction as a favor to the students.

During the Fall semester I felt like I was a number in a factory..they might as well have stamped a number to my forehead. If you can get a study group and work the system you'll be better off.

Overall I've regretted my decision terribly. You only get one shot at life. If I had to choose between being an engineer and "being happy" I would choose the latter. If only I knew that before coming to this school. Don't make the same mistake I did.
