I'll graduate debt freeQuite BrightPublic Policy
I'll graduate debt free with a degree from a school with a great reputation. Their co-op program is first rate and provides real job experiences. Now that they bought the Olympic Village providing 2000 apartment spaces, housing will greatly improve. Atlanta is a great city, lots to do and see.

Question
Georgia Tech is an engineering school.Quite BrightEngineering Department
Georgia Tech is an engineering school. You come to learn, and you do not come here to have fun. It is 70% male, and the majority of the girls are ugly. Guys and girls are generally isolated from one another as well. Parties on campus revolve around sports or fraterinites, and frankly I think Frat parties suck. Freshman and Sophomore year are a waste of time, however, once you get into your core classes, they are very interesting at this research institute. Surrounding Atlanta is fun, but you need an ID or need to be 21. If you are into the electronic music scene, it is just now starting to grow. There is a lot of religion in Georgia, therefore there are a lot of sheltered prudent people. Cost of living is however cheap, and you can live in a sweet loft apartment in midtown Atlanta, 5 minutes from campus very inexpensively. Also tuition is cheap, especially if you are in-state.

Question
Tech is not concerned whether you fail outQuite BrightEconomics
Tech is not concerned whether you fail out or not - you have to be very self-motivated. Don't expect to be "babied." There are some great people, and some very strange people, but everyone can find what they're looking for. If you are an introverted person who lacks the motivation and discipline to get up and go to class and study all the time, you will not do well.
