Alexa

The best thing about Georgia Tech is it's ability to be very work oriented and full of research, studying and education, but then to also know the importance of having a good time -- especially in the Fall when football season is in full effect. This school prides it's self on working hard and playing hard, the epitomy of a Yellow Jacket!

Hifza

I love the fact that everyone here is very serious about their education and careers, all the way from the professors to the students. Though friendships and socialization are also important aspects of the college experience, it feels good to know that everyone has their end goals about their careers and jobs in sight. This makes for a very competitive environment at this school, which pushes you to be your best and excel. This is excellent preparation for the real world and employers know this when they come to recruit at our school. Go Yellow Jackets!!!

Zion

My school's greatest attributes are its' educational assistance and its' ability to provide numerous incredible opportunities. With all of the help on campus, including: professor's office hours, free tutoring, PLUS sessions, writing/communications lab, math and science help desks, and the Teaching Assistants. There is always help readily accessible if you need it and at an academically rigorous school like Tech, it helps a lot. Also, Tech's reputation allows for students to succeed outside of the classroom as major companies, like Google, Microsoft, and Boeing to name a few, are fervently recruiting us.

Georgia Tech teaches you to learn. It challenges you to rise above what you thought you could do and learn things you never thought possible. So once out in the real world you can learn and do it quickly.

The focus on academics and especially research enables the students to be taught by professors who are leaders in their field. Also, the students learn how to think in novel ways and find out information for themselves.

Sataporn

The best thing about my school is the difficulty and talents of students. Georgia Tech is one of best engineering school in the country, and by default it have some of the most talented and gifted students. From my spective, I was on the wait list, which means I was on the bottom end of the spectrum. I was intimitaed but I was not defeated. I learned that through hard work and deciation, I was able to do the work and pass the test. Georgia Tech brought out the best of me and other students here.

Miguel

The best thing about my school is that it offers a great education combined with amazing people I can relate with. I find that it would be very hard for any other school to be able to have so much people like me and for me it is very important that I get socially engaged with the people at my school. Because of all these similiarities it is also extremely easy to get involved in the universities clubs and activities making my college experience extremely enriching.

Although the school is notoriously known for its academic rigor, the feeling of accomplishment when you do well is unparallel. I love that my inclination to always work hard is celebrated here both by the university and prospective employers that understand the challenges Georgia Tech students face. However, even though there is a great push to academically succeed at Tech, there is a certain camaraderie that exists between peers that makes those long nights in the library bearable.

Xialin

One of the many highlights about Georgia Institute of Technology is its proximity to such a busy city like Atlanta. By being so close to a business area, there are many recruiters and companies nearby that you are able to visit. It is a large school and almost everyone has heard of it. There are many parks and restaurants nearby if you ever need a study break. By being so close to a city, yet semi secluded, you are guaranteed to be safe but still have all the benefits of Atlanta's business district.

William

I consider the wide range of opportunities being the best thing about my school. The reason why I say that is because given the face that I love sports and my studies equally, I need both of them in my life. My school offers so many different intermural and places to play any sport you can think of to play on your spare time. On top of all the sports opportunities they also also offer many people and places to help you succed with your studies. They want to see you succed in your studies and have fun also.

Josh

The best thing about Georgia Tech is that it's a college in every sense of the word. There is pride, there is alcohol, and there is the stereotypical college experience that everyone has in their four, five, six years of college. And within this college is something better than the best thing: a community. Imagine 12,000 undergraduates, every one of them equally gifted with intelligence. Now imagine that this community also encompasses every type of student imaginable. Here, ideas and ideals are allowed to mingle to create an enriching student body - and everyone starts the same.

Pooja

The best thing about Georgia Tech is that it provides students with every possible opportunity to succeed. Whether providing work experience through various internships and co-ops, cultural experience through the Study Abroad and International Studies Program, or academic experience through research studies and a well-qualified academic staff, Georgia Tech provides every opportunity a student needs to succeed and pursue his passion. Students are allowed to explore their surroundings and the opportunities present around them. They are allowed to make their own educational path, one that benefits them the most and provides them with the greatest academic success.

I feel that the best thing about this school is the ability to broaden your horizon of learning through different courses. In addition to the courses, the professors make lots of time to individually support students.

Steven

Good reputation and quality education.

Patrick

The school spirirt presented at Georgia Tech allows groups that come from all walks of life to unify as though they has been friends for ages. This is important in the stressful environment that Tech presents. It allows all religious, ethnic, and sexual oriented groups to feel more comfortable around each other and more willing to be open with each other. This allows our students to be more assimilated and work together to overcome academic difficulties. in a school as diverse as Tech, this allows our students to build confidence in dealing with other people before entering the business world.

Cari

There is a lot of support on campus. Tons of resources to help students out, including career services and advising departments. I also have a great social life on the weekends. Our football program has been great recently, which makes for a great Fall Season if you're into athletics.

Blaine

Justin

The best thing is the tradition here at Georgia Tech. The school has always been known as a great academic school, so when you tell people you go to Georgia Tech, they know how smart you are and how hard you are working. Besides academics there is so much tradition in sports. Georgia Tech is one of the top athletic programs in the country and has been for a long time.

Robert

Everyone at my school seems to have a general understanding and appreciation for what Tech is. They all know how challenging most of the classes are and how their GPAs at Tech are unlikely to be anywhere near what they were in high school and that there will be countless nights with little to know sleep. Overall, the school has a generally cynical yet humorous understanding of the challenges that face the students, which tends to bind students together as a larger community. It's kind of hard to describe; you have to be there.

Kia

The balance between academic achievement and sports is the best thing about Georgia Tech. It shows the well rounded ness of the school.

Tiffany

I know that when I graduate I will be leaving a lot more intelligent and well prepared than I ever could've imagined. I have made amazing friends that I hope to still be seeing 60 years down the road. All in all, GT will definitely give you the education you want and as long as you are willing to work for them, the friendships too.
