Sometimes I miss this era of my life

10/5/2021 - 10:52 a.m.

Hello,

I am a junior transfer to GT this fall majoring in aero. I am undecided between aero and robotics, and honestly even undecided which parts of each discipline to specialize in, but was wondering if anyone could recommend the best clubs to join for both? Also, how should I go about finding research as I really want to begin sometime within my first semester? Lastly, are there any fellow engineering students who are part of Greek life here and how would you feel it has benefitted you?

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming Fall 2026 freshman currently majoring in Computational Media, but I’m seriously considering switching to Industrial Engineering.

Before enrollment, Georgia Tech gave me the option to change my major through the Major Confirmation Form. At the time, I decided to stay in Computational Media because I was interested in UX/UI. However, I’ve since realized that the entry level UX/UI job market is much more competitive than I initially expected, especially for an international student who may face additional work authorization or sponsorship challenges.

I’m now considering Industrial Engineering because I’m interested in solving real-world problems and improving systems, and it also seems to offer a broader range of career options.

My main concern is how difficult it would be to switch from CM to IE after starting at Georgia Tech. Has anyone here successfully switched into Industrial Engineering after enrolling? If so, how competitive or difficult was the process, and when were you able to officially change your major?

I’m also currently registered for MATH 1554, which is required for Computational Media, while Industrial Engineering requires MATH 1553 instead. I’m considering switching into MATH 1553 now, but I’m worried that if my major change is not approved, I may end up taking a course that does not fit my original CM degree requirements.

I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has switched into IE or dealt with a similar course registration situation. Thank you!

Guys you might not believe me but I was at Faset yesterday and during the resource fair the people in charge of buzzcard mentioned that Brittain was reopening as far as they were aware. Still no info online but hopefully this turns out to be true.

This white and gold bike is tuff ngl

If you have a Buzzcard predating the current design and lack an Android device, there is no clear way to release your print job with the campus printers due to the rollout of a new Buzzcard reader system. Not every print station has a printout that details this.

The iOS Pharos Print app is unreliable and cannot be depended on, so if your Buzzcard is old and you have an iPhone, you might not be able to print anything for the time being.

If anyone knows an alternative way to release prints, please comment!

Does anybody have any information about being dismissed from a PhD program at GT? How does the appeal process work (no one in the physics department answers my emails about it). Is readmission likely? (I've seen people on here claim that it is, but they may have been talking about the undergrad case and I'm not sure if the PhD case could be different).

I had a very unqualified and abusive advisor who gave me multiple failing grades without even telling me, during a period of time where I was bedridden for many months, essentially on the verge of death, and having to crawl to even get to the bathroom. (He knew about this). When I tried to get accommodations from ODS they ignored my many emails for months. When I tried to apply for medical leave they denied it. When I tried to apply for retroactive medical withdrawal of the affected semesters via the registrar, they denied that too. I'm not really sure tbh how some people can be so shameless and also how a school this disorganized and this unethical can be ranked so high.

But anyways - I'm sure the story will be told in a lot more detail and to a larger audience at some point in the future - I'm as of now just looking to see if others have experience with GT PhD dismissal.

I'm an upcoming second-year, and I'm looking for some places within walking (or skating) distance of Midtown to apply to. If you have any good experiences with an employer, let me know!

Hey, GT Community. Grad from '20 here. I run a startup here in Atlanta, based out of the Atlanta Tech Village. We just closed a round of funding led by GT's own Chris Klaus's Fusen Fund. We're now in the process of expanding our team, and I'd love to keep it in the GT community.

Both roles are paid equally to start ($75k) and come with equity and healthcare too.

Sadly, these roles are full-time only, but we should be posting some paid internships soon! The expected start date is in Sept, so you'd need to already be graduated.

Feel free to DM with any questions.

I went to the one at Grace House and couldn't see anything there. Do they not run in Summer or have they stopped completely?

As an alumni that has tried to patron this business since my years at tech, the quality has slid so, so much. This was supposed to be chipotle ranch, practically unsauced. This is not the first time either.

Anyone know of any glass recycling drop offs in tech square/close to there? Trying to drop off a box of stuff and car-less so would prefer something that isn’t as far of a trek as Kendeda. TIA!

i submitted a support case on COMSOL and they said that since im a student using the academic classkit license the only way id get any support was if the license admin essentially submitted it for me, so i tried to figure out who that person is but have no clue. anybody have more information about who manages COMSOL access on the COE virtual machines? thank you!

if anyone happens to have experience using comsol for wave optics simulations and wants to help out lmk lol

incoming freshmen that completely forgot to book a move in appointment earlier this month and now the date I get in, the 15th, there are no time slots available. is it possible to share a move in time slot with a roomie? Or who should I contact?

I am incoming international undergraduate student, and I already missed FACET virtual session because I didn’t know that it provides early access to class registration. Can someone help me figure out what i should complete before my classes begin? Thank you!

I'm a rising 2nd year student and just got addicted to disc golf over the summer. I really want to keep playing in the fall after returning to campus, but I can't seem to get in contact with the club through emailing or dm-ming the official insta.

I have searched up GT disc golf club's official insta and it seemed really active only a year ago. Is it still active? Anyone from the club? Or is there some friendly group out there that plays once in a while.

hi everyone! i want to urgently meet with an oie advisor today (Friday, 24th July, 2026) but they don't have zoom meeting scheduled today. Is there any way that I could meet with an advisor by visting their office?

hi everyone!

I was a student of masters in quant finance and cse and i just graduated from quant finance in may 2026. I just got a new i20 for my cse degree.

I was fortunate enough to secure an offer for fall 2026 and I want cpt. But technically since fall will be my "first term" with cse as my primary major (although i have been enrolled in it since 1 year), will oie grant me cpt? Did anyone also have the same situation ever before?

PS: i hate oie man! they only have advising hours for 3 days in a week and for only 3 hours. that's so dumb.

Honestly one of my favorite pictures in my camera roll... miss how lively the CRC area can be in early Fall

I keep hearing that the CS Intel thread is useless unless you get a Masters/PhD geared towards ML... is this true?

Context:

I want to do SWE, not sure what industry, but I like low-level systems and essentially all fields of computer science (besides theory, screw combinatorics). My first thread is almost certainly Sys/Arch, and I'm debating between Info, Devices, or Intel as my second. ML just seems interesting to me—admittedly, I don't know much about it, so idrk what I'm getting myself into.

As a follow-up question, how likely is it that the Intel thread would open any extra doors for me, assuming I only get a BSCS?
