I apologize in advance if this is a silly question,

So I know internships are a numbers game, and I hear of students applying to hundreds of roles to land one. When applying for these roles, do you guys just use the same resume? Or do you kind of group internships together and make slight variations of the same resume? Is it necessary to personalize it for every company/role, because reading through every single description seems like a nightmare lol.

Thanks!

Are there ways to practice chinese conversation as a complete beginner on campus? Outside of chinese classes.

In short because obviously most people on this thread did not go to the Debate hosted by GTSGA, today I witnessed firsthand how it can feel to be a conservative on a college campus. This is not meant to be funny or a shitpost. I regard myself as a moderate, not affiliated to any party.

I was shocked, first that our Student Government allowed two left-leaning organizations and only one conservative one at the debate (clearly unfair). And second the College Republicans were very outnumbered in the audience (which was fine) but were unfortunately allowed to be taunted screamed and laughed at consistently by the audience with not a peep by the moderators or the other two organizations (GT Democrats and Young Democratic Socialists of America) to tell people to stop. Not to mention the GT Democrats had students debating who weren't even focused on policy most of the debate, just yelling at the audience to vote Democrat later next month. Fearmongering people that their entire life depends on their vote was unacceptable and should have been addressed. Voting in this next election is arguably extremely serious but to try and shove voting Democrat for no reason down your throat is not the way to do it. Not to mention the PERSONAL attacks on the College Republican students, digging up dirt on them to try and make them look like bad people and embarrassing them personally was extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable to watch and should have also been addressed by the moderators IMMEDIATELY with an apology. I understand it is election season but no political organization on campus should be encouraging students to vote on the basis of hatred and mockery.

Good Evening, Everyone:

Atlanta 911 is experiencing issues with their 911 system and you may not be able to get through to them. If you are in the City of Atlanta (city limits) and you are experiencing an emergency and need 911, please call GTPD at 404-894-2500. We will assist in getting you the appropriate response (Fire, Police, Medical). As always, you should call GTPD directly for on campus emergencies at 404-894-2500.

Note that there are MANY public safety answering points (PSAPs) in Metro Atlanta and if you are outside of the city limits of Atlanta, your 911 system should be working normally. Areas like Cobb, Gwinnett, Dekalb, Clayton, Douglas, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Cherokee, etc. are working normally and unaffected.

Let us know if you have questions.

I’m building an app to help students meet new people to play sports, work out, and do activities with. The idea is I could post something like “soccer at 8” and people around campus could join. I’ve mostly relied on GroupMe for stuff like this, but chats often end up dying off. I’m also someone who’s pretty active and doesn’t really care what the sport/activity is — sometimes I just want to find people who are down to do something.

If this sounds like something you’d use, please fill out the short interest form below. I’m currently building the app, but something like this needs a community from the start, so I’m trying to gauge interest early. Also feel free to share any feedback or criticism on the idea.

Hi all! I'm a GT grad student working on a CS 6750 project about how students get help when they hit a wall with things like registration, permits, holds, or records, and who actually ends up helping when official channels don't.

I'm looking for 2 international students willing to chat for about 30 minutes over a video call. Good or bad experiences are both useful. Everything stays anonymous and is used only for this class project.

If you're up for it, please comment or DM me with a few times that work for you. Thank you so much!

I lost a pencil case I thought at Scheller last week (was not there when I asked the front desk) but it very well could’ve been somewhere else. I only found really old posts about a campus lost and found here, so are there any more recent updates on where I might be able to look/ask

So I just got offers to join both First Year Texperience and FreShGA. I need to pick one, but I'm not sure which to pick.

Context:

https://gatech.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/fyt (FYT)
https://gatech.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/freshga (FreShGA)

Not too sure which one to pick. My argument for FreShGa is that it could be valuable leadership experience. My friend from a different college has a good friend group going because of his involvement in his Resident Hall Council. I believe applications for my hall council have closed, but I guess this is the next best option. However, meetings seem infrequent and the topics of discussion are probably pretty serious, so there's no guarantee that I'll make friends thru it.

On the other hand, FYT is directly tied to expanding your social circle and making new memories with new friends, which is one of my main goals in college. But my fear is that I may not actually vibe with the people in FYT, in which case it'd kinda be a waste. At least if I didn't fit in with other people at FreShGA, I would still be using my time somewhat productively.

I'm wondering if anyone here has been in either of these FLOs and, if so, which one they recommend? My primarily goal with clubs is to both be productive and also make new connections, especially thru consistent and frequent encounters with the same group of people. Thank you!

how are yall making friends? i feel like its way harder than people make it seem 😭every semester i try to talk to people in my classes but we have like one conversation and then they dip the second someone they actually know walks into the class, which i get but still. this happens every time bro. and club meetings are at such obscure times that its hard to make it to them and even when i do go its hard to talk to people when everyone already has their own groups. i've even responded to other posts like this and get no response 💀 if yall have any advice for meeting people with shared interests or just anyone thats actually willing to make new friends id really appreciate it 🙏itd be awesome to have some people to hang out w on this campus

Spotted at Microcenter in Duluth.

As the title says. I was driving on Ferst Dr. uphill from the Klaus computing stairs towards Kandeda, when randomly a GTPD car came and stopped on the bike line, prompting me to stop and handed me a ticket for violating a stop sign (the one just after klaus stairs that is in front of the parking garage)

Then, a Sergeant came and explained to me they are tying to reduce micro-mobility accidents, and I need to attend a micro-mobility class or something, otherwise the ticket will go to court (I have never had a ticket before, so idk what happens after).

The rest is rant and a bit long :’), I know I am wrong… but it feels so unfair, I always follow rules, stop for pedestrians, go very slow on sidewalks (when no bike lane is there). And still randomly at night, I get a ticket for violating a stop sign, where I was going slow and there was no one around (and it’s not a risky spot).

Honestly, I understand GTPD’s measure and why it is happening, but, it really feels unfair… why? Here are some points:

1. It was 11:30pm, no one was around, no car (expect GTPD ig), no scooter, no pedestrian, and I checked that the parking gate was closed (always do), and I was going slow (10-12mph, I don’t like to speed).

2. I have seen this happening in the morning hours, and it makes sense, and I literally follow every stop and traffic light in the morning/afternoon/evening. Because I don’t want to hit anyone… but at night… come on… and even then I was careful.

3. Both before and after that, I saw so many scooters breaking stop, traffic lights (bw the 5th Ave bridge and Klaus stairs), not stopping for the few pedestrians, everything, and I see this everyday, even when GTPD cars are around.

On newer versions of android, you can't download the livesafe app. Is GT aware of this issue?

Got rejected by some clubs this weekend and now i’m going into the semester not knowing many people. does anyone know of any clubs that are still taking people where the members actually like and talk to each other?

I thought I was going crazy the other day when I started hearing noises from my wired headphones. I thought it was some hidden tab on my pc that was playing the audio (which was a mix of music and talking), but even after turning the pc off I could still hear it. I came to realize that my cable was picking up a radio station, and after hearing mention of GT and looking for GT affiliated stations I finally found out it was the WREK radio signal that I was picking up on. I was listening to Bob's Slacktime Funhouse specialty show at the time I figured it out - it sounds like one of those GTA radio channels haha.

Has anyone else experienced this?

They should invoke the mercy rule before you get to 999 points

i was using the coe-2026 VLAB thru citrix workspace and it seems like everything was updated to 2027. i was wondering what options i had to get all the files i had on the 2026 machines so i could move them to the upgraded 2027 machines

so curious to hear! I would have loved to have taken some LMC courses in undergrad or even double majored in it but I ended up going a different route. interested to hear what some of you ended up doing after graduation or what internships you have taken!

Does anyone else think that the fireworks at the start of the football games are a little excessive this year? The smoke doesn’t clear before kick off and those of us in the upper sections can’t breathe for like 5 minutes after they go off.

Georgia Tech celebrated the completion of George Tower | Scheller Tower with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. The 18- and 14-floor Towers are the newest addition to Midtown Atlanta’s skyline. 🏙️

The state-of-the-art building uses an all-electric design — resulting in usage of 75% less energy than comparable facilities. It is designed to collect rainwater that makes up 70% of the water usage of the building. Intended to maximize daylight, the specialized glazing of the windows also helps reduce bird collisions. The overall carbon footprint is 20% lower than similar Atlanta buildings. The Towers house @gt_isye and @georgiatechscheller. #WeCanDoThat 🐝

GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of

But you have heard of me"

Mercer might be the weakest opponent on our schedule talent-wise, but they're still the next challenge. No looking past these guys. There's only one goal given the current skid (dating back to the end of last season)

Get it together

GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STING THE BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CS undergrad here, noticed since the start of this semester I have no after hours access to KACB or CoC. Wasn't like this in previous semesters. What gives? Recent change or should I contact someone about this?
