I am a Tulane Biomedical Engineering Senior curently attending Georgia Tech. If i were you i would run like hell from Georgia tech. Strait from PrincetonReview.com: What Georgia Tech Students Say About... Student Body Because of the heavy workload at Georgia Tech, most students are "overly stressed, worried about tomorrow's test, and driven by the desire for the degree. This student has only minimal time for social functions." Which is just as well, since "many lack basic social skills." They're the type of folks who "make fun of TV shows or movies that violate basic rules of physics. It's sort of dweeby, but in a good way." Observes one engineer, "There is a sizable population of people who are so weird that you can tell their major by the way they walk ( e.g., CS [computer science] majors walk like they are uncoordinated)." Tech is home to "large populations of foreign students, especially from India and China." More like social function and coordination....soo many people trip going UP stairs. What Tulane Students Say... "Tulane offers some of the best academics in the country." The school is true to the spirit of its hometown of New Orleans; therefore: exposing students to "a more relaxed atmosphere with some of the most talented and fascinating people you will ever meet." The famous nightlife of New Orleans makes it difficult for some students to remain focused solely on academics; however, students who "have the amazing ability to party hard and study harder know what it takes to succeed, and they do it while having fun." Undergraduates agree that "the school's academics are fantastic. The professors are great, and the educational resources outstanding." They also appreciate that "classes are usually pretty small, even the introductory ones" and that "very few, if any, profs care more about research than they do about us." The workload in most areas is "tough but not overwhelming," with assistance readily available to students who fall behind. One student adds, "I was having trouble at the beginning of the semester. All of my professors sat with me one-on-one and worked with me until I understood the material." Administrators, from the top down, earn similar praise. Students report that the university's president "has done an amazing job of balancing much needed university construction and improvements, while staying [with]in budget, still offering amazing scholarships, and keeping student morale at a high level. As if this wasn't enough, he even teaches leadership classes." After Going to Georgia Tech i know why people drop out of school. I know what you all are thinking....its because Tech is so hard.....WRONG. I actually find my classes here easier. This place just sucks. Maybe staying in and studying because you pretend your classes are very hard when they are not is your thing......its not mine. We have fun and study.
