Go to Georgia Tech if you can get in. Even if you have to take loans. It’s kind of a no-brainer IMHO. Sure you would have more fun at Auburn and you’d get a very solid education and (if you do well) you’d likely get a good job. You’d have some challenging times at GT even if you are super smart. But when it comes to engineering, Georgia Tech’s resources, industry contacts, prep for the real world, and quality of education are top tier. And it’s not like GT is all about misery. True, students there have to study VERY hard but there are diversions too, like Greek life, teams in almost every imaginable sport, and multiple bands and orchestras. Your future self would probably thank you.
