+# Georgia Tech Review

+
+## Value: 5/5
+
+I'll start this review by saying that Georgia Tech was mentioned as a [New Ivy by Forbes for the third year](https://news.gatech.edu/news/2026/04/09/georgia-tech-earns-top-c-suite-ranking-among-forbes-new-ivies).
+So clearly it's a good school, and is top 5 for Computer Science.
+If you don't know, I am from Illinois so I pay out-of-state tuition.
+Despite this, I'd say the 50k tuition is worth it for the great return.
+You can basically get into any internship, and FAANG if you apply early enough.
+
+I found that I was denied from FAANG mostly because I applied too late. I mean, applications start the summer before, seesh. Like, for real?!
+
+The price is a lot cheaper for in-state students. They have a program called [HOPE/Zell Miller](https://finaid.gatech.edu/undergraduate-types-aid/hope-zell-faqs)
+which waives the entire tuition given you maintained a 3.3+ GPA in high school. Funnily enough, the scholarship gets funded from state lottery revenue.
+
+If you are considering whether to choose this school, remember that employers tend to sort Georgia Tech near the top of the resume pile.
+
+## Campus: 4/5
+

+
+The campus is in the center of Atlanta, but in midtown rather than more dangerous downtown.
+I like Atlanta more than Chicago because the culture is more present whereas Chicago is the city of work.
+I enjoy shopping in Little Five Points and on Ponce De Leon, of which there is no equivalent in Chicago.
+
+The campus itself is a square mile or so, and everything is walkable, at furthest being 15 minutes.
+I wish the campus had more *neoclassical* architecture like older campuses, but the campus seems kinda *functionalist*.
+Even the older buildings look boring and smell moldy, but that's besides the point.
+
+I'm always in the 3rd floor of the library.
+There they have lots of people to study around and plenty of monitors to dock your laptop.
+
+## Classwork: 2/5
+

+
+### It feels like they make the classwork harder just to say they did.
+
+Sometimes the classwork feels hard, stressful just to say that it is so. I don't mind that too much, but it gets annoying.
+
+I'm sure this is a problem at all colleges, but the CS classwork just doesn't map to your internship.
+Everyone I talked to found that their classes contributed nothing to their internship experience.
+I'd say what you learn is more math-major-esc, nothing related to coding or programming or architecture.
+
+I don't mention my classes on my resume because I know they haven't taught me anything that recruiters seek.
+I lean more into showcasing my projects and startup experiences, stuff where I've actually coded something.
+The classes nowadays just seem too theoretical and in the clouds, with nothing to code or a project to showcase.
+
+## Social: 3/5
+

+
+### Everyone's the shy nerd type
+
+Finding friends was no problem for me, and you kinda reach the end of the Markov chain eventually.
+
+But I wish there were more events that bring people together. I met some people at my dorm but not too many.
+Everyone's too shy to talk to each other, so it can feel kind of lonely at times.
+People congregate to study during finals, and honestly a study group is a solid form of friendship here.
+
+Dating is kind of impossible here, especially for me.
+You have your female friends, but you don't meet any new women expect at the bars.
+So most are dating their friends, which can turn awkward. I personally found that each of my female friends *tried to have a thing with me*.
+At the end of the day, *that* left me without any female friends, which obviously sucks.
+
+## Conclusion: 4/5
+
+I would recommend you to go to Georgia Tech, as the value is too good to pass up.
+But recognize that it is a *nerdy* school, and everyone is on the quiet side.
+Still, attending clubs, gatherings, and dorm meetings can help you expand your visions.
+Like Forbes mentioned, Georgia Tech is a new ivy, and the reputation hits exactly like you think it would.
+Choosing Georgia Tech is straight fire.
