Campus Life

Dining halls aren't great, it's kind of like an all you can eat school cafeteria. You definitely won't go hungry if you have a meal plan though. But your taste buds won't exactly be happy either.

There are three dining halls on campus, which all provide a similar food set - burger station, hot food, cereal, salad bar, pasta bar, and desserts. The quality of food at the dining halls could be compared to that of a high school cafeteria, but just with more options. There are also several restaurants represented on campus at the student center, including Taco Bell, Subway and Chick Fil A.

Some say its great and a lot say its bad. I personally don't like it much, but it beats trying to cook especially if you don't have time.

On campus meal plans are ok but there are plenty of places around campus to get food if you get tired of the meal plan.

The food is pretty good, no real complaints. There are three dining halls on campus none of which are bad but there's easily a hierarchy in the three.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the dining halls. There are three- 2 on east, Brittain and North Ave, and one on west, Woody's. Since I live on east, I've only been to Woody's once, and heard that while there is a variety it is generally not all that appetizing. Brittain has an ethnic variety but it generally stays the same, and they have a very lazy and rude staff. Breakfast is generally delicious though, depending on the time you go. North Ave is open until 2am M-Th, and is closed on the weekends; the food is the best quality of all of the dining halls, with International Fare and Wok options, but they repeat meals a lot. Overall, the dining is what you could expect on campus. In the Student Center there are restaurants like Chickfila, Taco Bell and Subway, and a food court on the second floor with places like Far East Fusion (one of my favorites), Dunkin Donuts and Great Wraps. The commercial variety is actually quite excellent in my opinion.

The food is pretty good.

Yuck. Boring and mediocre quality (at best).

The dining halls are all pretty bad in my opinion, but the food in the Student Center is really good. I usually just order or cook something to get some variety in my food choices.

It's prevalent here so if you love that kind of life, you would fit in to this school as well.

Greek life is amazing on campus. It is a group of very supportive individuals. I highly recommend it especially at Tech. It isn't like typical Greek life at larger SEC schools if you don't want it to be.

The Greek Life on campus is huge. Though I'm not a direct part of it, I have participated in a few of the events offered by the frats and sororities on campus.

I am not greek, but I am very close with people that are greek. I also attend most of the events (parties, formal, semi-formal,ect...). I have experience with many of the different fraternities, and sororities, so it isn't a biased judgement. Greek life is either for you or not. There isn't a gray area. You have to give your whole heart into and be active. At rush every greek organization will tell you how they are different and awesome ,but the differences are minimal. Almost all of them party(with heavy alcohol) except the more religious ones, and even then they party too. Forget what they said about hazing. It exists, now granted it isn't as bad as it would be at an SEC school, but it is here and especially in fraternities it can be really bad. Plan for at least a week of hell, and probably the most dehumanizing experience of your life. After all that though you will have brothers or sisters that will be with you for as long as you are an active member. There are a lot of cool experiences with Greek life. They go on a lot of trips and have many social events. Free alcohol and parties every Friday sometimes Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It's easy at Tech for women whether you are greek or not because of the ratio of boys to girls. You do not have to be greek to have a social life, but it is easier for boys if you don't make friends easily.

The parties are fun and the people are nice and are willing to help you with class material.

A lot of people are involved in Greek Life, but just not me. There is so much to do already that it's not really necessary.

Greek life is very different on our campus than on other campuses because there is a certain stereotype of Greek college students, but we don't necessarily fit into that because academics play a very important role in students' lives regardless of whether they are Greek or not.

It's a big part of the campus but you can be perfectly happy, well-rounded etc without being a part of it.

Georgia Tech is definitely big on Greek Life.

There are a decent amount of frats and sororities. Rush is usually at the beginning of the semester and very short. That being said it is very helpful to get to know people for projects and to form study groups.
