Tech is an excellent school - don't get me wrong,
it's tough. Really tough (and this comes from someone
that's attended 4 different Top 10 Engineering Schools), but it's
rewarding. I had 18 offers at graduation from many
different industries and all across the country - many of
my friends at other colleges were happy with 2 or
3 and had no say in where they worked after
graduation (they were forced to move to their job, whereas
I could choose a city). As a hiring manager
later in life, I saw heavy favoritism towards Tech in
the work force, and a substantial ($10,000+) advantage to top
Tech grads over grads from other schools.
But that is
only if you're a good student (I had a mid-3
GPA). Mediocre students with no work ethic drop out
of Tech or barely graduate all the time, which is
why you see the negative reviews. Tech will not
“hand hold” a student - if you don't put in
the effort, it'll run over you like a Mack truck.
This seems to be a problem for many students
that expect a 4.0 GPA for just waking up in
the morning.
All-in-all, you Tech gives you more opportunity than
nearly all other universities. I would highly recommend it
to someone will to work and put in effort. If
you goal is to coast, try a lower ranked school
(Texas A&M, Penn State, Virginia Tech, etc).
