Tech students are only slightly more interesting socially than they are intellectually. About half are from Georgia; the remainder come mostly from the south. Most students are white and at least moderately wealthy. Students tend to be conservative and closed minded; most seem to be Christians. I've heard a number of hateful things directed at racial, religious, and sexual minorities. Most LGBTQ students would probably feel uncomfortable here (I had a trans professor, and students made fun of her constantly behind her back). The most interesting people tend to be international students, who do have a large presence on campus, but they often stick to themselves after freshman year in the traditional dorms. These are all generalizations, of course; the student body is by no means homogeneous, and everyone seems to find a niche. As I've already mentioned, most students are adherents to the competitive and self-deprecating culture that pervades casual conversation at Tech. As a result, there aren't many cliques; everyone is united under the "banner of suffering" imposed by their schoolwork. While they may be ignorant, the majority of people here are also genuinely friendly.

The place needs more diversity...... They need to cap the intake of Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese and also start looking for people from Europe, South America and Africa. Its tough but 80/20 American and Non-Amrican is not diversity in today's world. The student body is too America focused and in many cases local focused (Georgia, South or then their respective states or Countries). The students like to discuss and debate and frequent topics are religion, movies, semi-conductors, Computer science, gadgets, women and sports. They wear a pair of shorts and a a tee and look shabby for the most part. Most of the students are from lower middle to middle class backgrounds and this reflects in their spending habits and lack of attention to brands and luxury. They politically very aware and love talking politics. A lot of them are Democratic but then it probably was so in my time when Bush was running the show. Many of them surprisingly are not money centric. They want to earn good money but the focus is what they would like to do and where they would like to work. A CS guy doesnt dream of becoming a billionaire, but that he should be able to create something useful and maybe come on the cover of wired magazine someday. A lot of my friends work in some really cool jobs like radar system designs, gaming, automotive, civil and architectural projects, film making (2 of my batchmates are directors in hollywood), etc.
