GT is the leader in engineering and other tech degrees. The learning curve is the steepest.

It's actually amazing.

Everyone else covered the basics so I’ll focus on two different things. I’ve found some really awesome people there; we talk Philosophy, have long arguments, build drones, and do stupid nerd stuff. It’s awesome! Also, the food is honestly not that bad (at least since we switched to Tech Dining).

Wonderful school. I was nervous about leaving home, but found so many friends due to freshman social events. The professors are well-knowledged and have tons of career opportunities. If you're willing to take the opportunities given, it's an amazing place in the heart of Atlanta with so many things to do.

Great school great dorms can’t complain

Fantastic school. Perceived negatives associated with being a tech school are far overblown. You can easily find your people. Best of worlds. College campus feel, but you can also dip into the city whenever you want. Resources and clubs are unmatched. Funding for research/innovation is unreal compared to other "equivalent" schools.

Great school. Perceived negatives about being a tech school are far overblown. Everyone can find their people easily. Best of both worlds. College campus feel with the freedom to dip into the city whenever or whether you want.

Rubbish school. Will probably consider transferring/dropping out at least once. Overall is good though.
Overall 1.4
Abusive faculty. It's in Atlanta, how much safety could you expect? Awful math. Only a few professors can actually teach.
Overall 1.7
very bad school. Regretful for being there.
