- Great Research Opportunities under professors from various specialisations, both in CS and even from other departments
- The general college atmosphere is very welcoming and conducive to learning
- There is flexibility in choosing and changing your specializations any time
Dislikes
- The administrative department is usually slow to respond especially during the admissions process
- For finalising admission, they verify education documents first before approving the i20, which leads to a lot of delays
- The process of getting funding is not completely merit-based, and quite dependent on networking instead
- I have taken off-campus accommodations.
- I found my accommodation through the marketing office contacts of the leasing offices of apartments in Atlanta, in conjunction with groups on Whatsapp.
- My monthly rent is: $940 for a private room in a gated complex with facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, community space, central ventilation, and billiards table
- The major challenge was international calls since the marketing office agents were only available on cellphones, so managing the logistics of that was quite a task
- I'd recommend looking for accommodation near college and in safe localities; the off-campus accommodation is usually better in terms of living standards and affordability
- My house is within 1.5 miles of the campus; most of the students stay in apartment complexes around mine only.

- The campus is something to look out for, a beautiful campus spread over 400 acres with companies all around in the middle of city.
- The course structure is rigorous not an ivy league college but treated like an ivy league college all around the country.
- Hard to get admitted but once you are in you are in for an adventure too much to learn with lots of educational activities and many more cultural activities.
Dislikes
- The vicinity of the college is not safe, but GTPD is maintaining the harmony.
- One can easily get lost in many other activities, if not focused on the main objective of study.
- The professors aren't that easily accessible.
- Once the admission is confirmed just follow through online and nearby area in college through google maps that's what helped me find the accommodation.
- Some or the other will try to reach to the student for the accommodation.
- The monthly rent varies from the place to place but if sharing it could be between 500-800. But if one is not sharing the room it could be between 800-1200. Above this is mostly expensive.
- My accommodation is walkable distance from college. Recommendation: Flats, Farington, Exchange, Westside and many more

- Faculty and mostly the students (they are super intelligent, and I enjoy sharing ideas and talking with them which motivates me to grow more) Campus life is also good.
Dislikes
- As of now, there's none. But I wanted to mention about the accommodation. It's pretty expensive over here as it's located in the midtown so your living costs are high.
Georgia Tech is the 2nd best public school in the US for Chemical Engineering. But this is not the only reason to choose Gatech, there were several factors and a lot of research behind it. I also got admitted to some of the best universities. I created a preference matrix that helped me to choose the best one and Gatech stood out as the the best out of that. My initial experience was tough because the course was rigorous and it was not easy to cop up with all the stuff at once after landing in this company. But now it's pretty good as I am used to and have a lot to learn.

- Research facilities and infrastructure, collaboration between different research groups. There are some good courses offered. The campus infrastructure is good.
Dislikes
- Sometimes the courses can be very specific to the research area of the faculty amd moght not always meet the general job market requirements. In that case, one need to navigate throught the perfect course combinations.
"I had to submit 3 LoRs, SoP and CV. Key points for SoP: 1. Should be a coherent story with the following points. 2. Why I chose ECE? 3. Why you chose this area? 4. Choice of advisors with reasons 5. Why I chose this university? CV: Mentioned research project/publications in detail. Mentioned other important projects." Based on my advisor's research. Also, ECE program at Georgia Tech is one of the best programs in US for research. The overall experience is excellent.

- TA ship which offers scholarship and stipend, there are lot of TA and RA opportunities with tuition wavier which are easy to score. The college's carrer fair is also a good part where many top tier companies visit.
Dislikes
- It's very strict and tough, sometimes puts you through times where the only solution is hard work, no matter how intelligent you are. The professors are high profiles so you really need to be genius to catch their attention.
Yes, CV, SOP, LOR. I had an Australian patent on my name with heavy bug bounty rewards in 4 figures. Public university with heavy funding and 2nd ranked for the course of Cybersecurity makes it the best school to study without incubating heavy loans The experience was the best uplift my life could ever get at this young age, I have graduated with high paying job, abundance of knowledge and experience with a very low tuition loans. What else do you need?

- I chose this university because I loved the research options they had and the campus was really beautiful. It’s in the city but has a lot of greenery too. It has one of the top CS programs in the Nation and engineering too. I was a science major and it has a medium sized class so not too big. Very diverse group of students too.
My overall experience at Georgia Tech is academically challenging but educating. There’s so many clubs to make friends and the campus is so beautiful to relax in the nature while also having modern and high tech features in the library. Georgia Tech is an amazing school and would highly recommend for people who are academically gifted and want great job placements too.
It's the best program in the country. They have a good research culture and are located in a prime location.
Good teachers and professors, a respected university, great recruiting history, a good place to learn, not too bad weather conditions, interesting research, public university - so moderate tuition fees.
GT is a big name, especially in the south. The department is relatively new, extremely knowledgeable, really cohesive and extremely supportive. They gave me the best funding.
The key governing factor for my selection of Gatech was the research work pursued by my advisor and the overall research culture in the college. Other secondary reasons were overall university ranking, ranking in the particular department/area I plan to study, location in terms of city vs university town etc.
