Rating 5 out of 5
I have never felt so welcomed to a program and culture to where I knew without a doubt GA Tech was the place for me. If you choose to join this program, it will truly be a transformative journey that you can embark on with more confidence knowing there is an entire community invested in your success as much as you are! Post-graduation I am confident knowing I will be equipped with the experiences, tools, business knowledge, and network from one of the best programs in the country to take on any challenge and future role, so I have plans to broaden the scope of my working experience to another industry as well as searching for new opportunities in different geographical locations. I feel like GA Tech places such an emphasis on culture and diversity which makes for one of the best programs in the state and the nation! This emphasis on authenticity not only sets GA Tech apart but also creates an environment where individuals can thrive and truly be themselves.

As I am an incoming freshman at Georgia Tech this fall, I have not had the opportunity to experience many on campus things, however I can say that this school has been my dream school since I was a child. From the few times I have been on campus and from the professors that I have seen available, this school has many highly valued points to back up its prestige.

Georgia Tech's academically rigorous programs and vibrant campus life offer a dynamic environment for personal and intellectual growth. The challenging curriculum prepares students for their future careers, especially in fields like engineering and computing. The diverse community fosters collaboration and cultural exchange, enriching the overall learning experience.
However, class sizes can sometimes be large, leading to challenges in accessing resources and personalized attention. Improvements in mental health support services would benefit students dealing with the pressures of rigorous academics. Despite these areas for growth, Georgia Tech's location in Atlanta provides ample opportunities for internships, networking, and cultural experiences, enhancing the overall educational journey.
