omg… u r a liberal?!

Just kidding, but in all seriousness, my 18 years of living in Georgia have told me that the political atmosphere of Atlanta is more liberal than conservative. The rest of the state, or where I have been, is pretty conservative, but I guess that is somewhat irrelevant assuming you spend most of your time in the Atlanta area. Also, from what I hear, politics does not play a huge roll on campus anyways – which makes sense, I suppose, considering tech is an math and science school. If anything, I would say I would fit in worse with my political views than you would with yours (I am extremely conservative :P).

Besides that, my only experiences with Tech come from friends currently enrolled and, according to them, there is no shortage of parties. They have said there is a god bit of studying, but there is still plenty of time for fun. As for ballet and such, I am not an arts person… but from looking at jim1980’s post, apparently there is stuff.

Anyways, I am debating on whether to go to tech also. I got accepted, but waiting to hear from other options before I decide. Good luck in your choice, I am sure you will make the right one.
