Great choices! Three years ago my son had to decide between UMich GT & Cornell. He chose GT.

I would pick GT based on ease of travel and weather. My son is a 3rd year at GT and we’ve been surprised by what an easy quick trip it is to fly home (to NJ). Kids can easily fly to Mexico/Dominican/anywhere for spring break. My son just drove down to Florida. The coast is right there, too. Weather is great - never gets too cold, and there are many ‘perfect’ months while school is in session.

UMich would edge out GT for sports and school spirit, but you’d be surprised by the enthusiasm and pride students have for GT. And the football team is on a rampage!

Also - at UMich, the engineering campus is separated from the main campus. At GT, the entire place is engineering focused. So fun!

LMK if you have any specific questions. There are some bad things about GT, but FAR outweighed by the good!
