The GT campus is very nice. I disagree with your atmosphere statement. My son has an aerospace engineering degree from Ga Tech. He’s now a commissioned officer flying Apache’s in the Army. The work was grueling. He will freely admit that the Army is a piece of cake compared to the Aerospace program at GT. I’ve never seen him work so hard for anything. Missed holidays, nights, weekends, lost weight (and didnt need to). But that diploma is more valuable to him than anything.
If your son has the drive and ambition to pursue one of the best and most strenuous AE programs, GT is worth a look.
I’ve never understood this whole “college tour, atmosphere” thing. It’s only temporary...pick the best school you can get into for what you want to achieve. If the cafeteria is painted the wrong color, it doesn’t matter. If he’s going to pursue AE...that should be the priority.
Now stepping off of soap box.
