Georgia Tech students take very challenging course loads, but their hard work is rewarded by a competive degree from an outstanding school. Many year-long courses are combined into one semester; for example most colleges have a two semester General Chemistry course, but at Tech the course is condensed into one semester. Therefore, the paces of the courses are rigorous. Georgia Tech attracts students who were at the top of their class in high school. Generally, new students learn quickly that in order to receive the same grades that they were used to receiving in high school, they must put in much more effort in studying and keeping up with assignments. A few bad grades don’t frustrate students who keep up with their assignments, and students who have good time management skills fare the best at Tech. The Tech student body has a niche for every type. There are many excellent sports and extracurricular clubs that will provide you with diversions from studying and classes. I definitely would suggest staying involved with a club because it will insure you a tight social network of friends who share your interests. Tech also has many of lectures series and seminars to enrich your education. Tech prepares students well for a professional career by incorporating technology into all subjects, and a campus body full of top-preforming students creates a stimulating environment.
