| I'm a sophomore at UF that had to make the same decision. Gtech is a great school, if you can afford to go there, and are sure you want to do engineering, do it. It is definitely quite a bit more rigorous though (not saying UF engineering is easy at all, but GT is pretty much know as one of the toughest schools in the nation.) Atlanta is a great city, so there will be plenty to do, but the actual GT campus really has the feeling of a much smaller setting. It's like it's own little community.
When I made my decision, I was not sure I wanted to do engineering. It was a very real possibility, but I came in pre-health. That was one of my bigger reasons for going to UF, it kept my options up (high enough gpa to get into med school at GT very difficult). If I had known I was going to do engineering, it would've been GT in a heartbeat.
That being said, I still feel like I am getting a great education at UF, it's free, and employers are all over the Career Showcase looking for Gator Engineers. Plus there are a LOT more girls. (friends at GT tell me there are very few and those are taken by the frats).
Hope that helps and if you have any other questions let me know. |
