<p>I agree with everything said above. And Tech has a combined biotech program with Emory now that is very strong. Add to that the new construction/facilities across the highway, the trolly system to get around and the easy access to the new Atlantic Station complex (shops, theaters, housing) and this all makes Tech very attractive. Ditto ont he strong career counseling/job placement/ networking and co-op opportunities. I must add, thought, that a lot of Tech students find the environment a bit harsh. There is a sense that you graduate in spite of the faculty, not becaue of them (I am exaggerating, but you get my drift). Some of the profs don’t make it easy on the students and some don’t speak English all that well. Some of the students wear a rather unflattering tshirt that says “IHTFP” (or something like that) which stands for “I hate this*** place”. GA Tech was my s’s safe school. He is a Mech Eng. major, but chose to go elsewhere.</p>
