description: Introduction from the AuthorGeorgia Institute of Technology was founded in 1885 in the suburbs of northern Atlanta, Georgia, and has since become recognized as the foremost engineering school in the southeastern United States. In the 120 years of the school’s existence, the city of Atlanta has grown around it and created a rich urban environment for students to study, work, and play in. Today, this urban environment sits at the center of the largest and fastest growing metropolitan area in the Southeast. The city’s phenomenal growth over the past several years and the Institute’s traditions and academic reputation have been mutually beneficial to each other.Georgia Tech has become known across the country as an excellent trainer of engineers and scientists of various fields, and the school has routinely been ranked among the nation’s top schools in many disciplines. The school boasts the nation’s best industrial engineering program—also called the Systems Engineering Program—and has been widely recognized for its various computer science and engineering programs. Georgia Tech’s professors are widely recognized within their specific fields and hold doctorates from schools such as MIT, Stanford, and CalTech.Academic life at Georgia Tech is often a large adjustment for those fresh out of high school. Professors are very strict, and they feel they must continue to be so in order to uphold the school’s prestigious academic reputation. Be warned that those who choose Georgia Tech choose it because of the school’s reputation for churning out top graduates. The city of Atlanta offers exceptional nightlife and excitement, but Georgia Tech is no party school; expect an intensive academic program, and be prepared to put considerable effort into your schoolwork.Jonathan Trousdale, AuthorGeorgia Institute of Technology
