Georgia Tech Reviews in Atlanta, GA Area

Pros

Georgia Tech is an outstanding research university that fosters innovation and creativity among both its faculty and students.

Cons

Construction seems to never end

Pros

A lot of room for exploration, personal growth, and meeting professionals.There are lots of experts in their fields and lots of room for collaboration for projects. The school is well funded for research and has lots of resources for continuing your project. My program also offered free health insurance for graduate research assistants.

Cons

The area has a bit high rate of crime since it is close to the downtown Atlanta. The administrative process can take a bit time to get processed.

Advice to Senior Management

During the 6 years that I spent at Georgia Tech, I liked the fact that the school provided apartment-style dormitories that are safe for the students (constantly patrolling). Please continue to provide secure housing for new graduate research assistants.

Advice to Senior Management

try to communicate as clear as possible
