Pros

Georgia Tech has the professors, resources, facilities, and sophisticated equipment to provide great training to graduate students.

Cons

student fees are high and it makes it difficult for students to pay when the stipend is relatively low

Pros

Good collaboration. Well connected campus. Good location, proximity to good research/government institutes like CDC, SRA and Emory (for Biology majors).

Cons

Pay/compensation for graduate students is probably not at par with other institutes of the same standard.

Pros

very nice campus and recreation center
good student career service
series seminars
department has shared facilities

Cons

I haven't find too many downsides of working at Georgia Tech. Maybe the library should include more recent books and journals.

Pros

Good support system, nice people in the research management offices, great benifits, and fair compensation. Atlanta is a great place costwise to live

Cons

Slow processing of paperwork. Atlanta is not the most beautiful of cities, there is however a lot to do.

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.

Pros

The faculty are all the best in their fields.

Cons

Courses are not easy. Safety issue might be a concern

Advice to Senior Management

Improve campus safety

Pros

low monthly pay with tuition waiver

Advice to Senior Management
