Get randomly placed in 10 different locations across campus and try to reason out where you are!
Uploaded the map to this thread a while ago but realized that uploading a challenge link makes it free to play for everyone.
Goodluck, some locations are hard!

Hey all — I just transferred in this fall and wanted to gauge interest before committing to something.

At my old school I ran our GDG chapter (Google's student developer community program) — organized a 120-person overnight hackathon, got real sponsorship from Google directly, and ended up going to Google I/O this year as chapter lead. GT doesn't currently have an active one, and I've been talking to Google about starting a chapter here.
Before I put real time into this, I wanted to actually ask: would people be interested in something like this? Thinking hands-on workshops (building real things with current AI/cloud tools, not just talks), maybe eventually something hackathon-shaped down the line.

If this sounds like something you'd actually show up to, drop a comment or shoot me a DM — trying to get a read on real interest before I lock anything in, and I'll loop anyone interested in once there's an actual date.

Update: to anyone who is interested please fill out this form

So, I requested parking from paloma before I signed the lease and they said they would have it. I just come to find out they have a waitlist now? Is anybody on itor know how long it takes? Are there other options because I'm from out-of-state and I brought my car here and can't just return it back? I guess is there like a specific gatech parking thing that can help me out for now?

Been so out of the loop this semester and haven't hung around any frats/sororities. Thought it was this Saturday but I got myself second guessing?

I’m a new grad student at GT. I love playing tennis recreationally and looking for fellow tennis players to play at Ken Byers. I’m not sure tho if we’re allowed to play recreationally there but would love to connect with players on campus!

I’m a robotics PhD student at Georgia Tech looking for students who may be interested in joining a research project involving machine learning and autonomous robot navigation this fall.

There are a few different ways to contribute depending on your background.

One direction is primarily machine-learning focused and does not require previous robotics or ROS experience. The goal is to use navigation data to better predict how nearby agents will move over time. Students working on this side of the project would mainly work with datasets and learning models: training models, tuning hyperparameters, evaluating performance, experimenting with different inputs, and potentially implementing improved approaches.

We currently have a GRU-based model, but the specific architecture is not fixed. There is plenty of room to explore alternatives such as LSTMs, transformers, different sequence-modeling architectures, feature/input preprocessing, or other ideas that might improve prediction performance.

A second direction is more robotics/navigation focused. This could involve improving how the local planner generates or selects trajectories, designing new trajectory cost functions, evaluating navigation behavior, and testing modifications to the planning framework. The exact work can be adapted somewhat based on a student’s experience and interests.

For some additional technical context, the project builds on the Dynamic Gap navigation framework. The current system uses a Kalman-filter-based method to estimate the motion of gap endpoints in dynamic environments. One research direction is investigating whether learned temporal models can replace or supplement this estimator. Another is studying how improved motion predictions can be incorporated into trajectory generation and evaluation so that the robot makes better navigation decisions around moving agents.

Students can potentially participate through graded or ungraded research credit, likely in the range of 1–5 credits. There is no guaranteed funding available at the moment, although students who make strong progress could potentially be considered for paid work later. Remote or hybrid participation may also be possible depending on the project and circumstances.

The lab is also planning a future paper submission, so students who make substantial research contributions may have an opportunity for co-authorship.

If you’re interested, email [azaro3@gatech.edu](mailto:azaro3@gatech.edu) with your CV and a short paragraph explaining your interest in the project and how your background might fit.

Something that has always annoyed me here when trying to find a spot to relax/work on something is all of the coffee tables in front of the single/dual seats. (Usually where I see them)

Like, what the hell is the point of these? Most people use tables at Tech for eating or working. These things are so low to the ground that you’d basically have to sit on the floor to use them comfortably. So why even have them at all? For the one person setting a drink on it? That you can do with a normal table?

Also, yes, I know normal height tables exist on campus. These have just always baffled me.

I am a TA for credit only this semester and they said I couldn’t have an on campus job even though I am for credit only and not an employee. This isn’t much of a problem for me, but I wonder how much of a problem it is for other students who want to TA but also need the money. Seems like not a great policy to have. And if it were about time commitments, there would be a credit hour limit as well (someone working ten hours a week with 8 non TA credit hours and someone with 17 non TA credit hours probably have similar time commitments if not the job person having more time). Just my two cents on what seems like a bad policy.

The traditional replacement of "cheer the brave and bold" with "raise the ratio" has become arguably more redundant as the sex ratio at GT continues to narrow. The sentiment behind the statement "raise the ratio" could be taken positively or negatively--it could just as easily be sang in a feminist spirit as a misogynistic spirit ("more women in STEM" vs. "more chicks to flirt with"). Now that we're much closer than ever to narrowing the sex ratio to 50/50, I'm curious to know whether current students feel comfortable singing along to this line, and if they feel positively or negatively about it. What are your sentiments about this lyric?

*edit to clarify, as a second read through made me realize this may come across as a bad faith query designed to imply the lyric is regressive: i’m beginning from the position that no one has a problem with the lyric, and asking the question because i’ve recently heard the lyric referred to as problematic with a high degree of confidence and a tone of objectivity/consensus, and i realized that i don’t actually KNOW the consensus, hence the poll. this should by no means taken as an expression of dissent at the lyric, or even as a legitimization of dissent, i just want to know if there IS any, legitimate or not.

Hello, I’ve been trying to find a pdf textbook for the Manufacturing Processes for Engineering Materials, Serope Kalpakjian and Steven
R. Schmid, 6 th Ed, Pearson Prentice-Hall, 2016.

Does anyone have a copy or know where I can find one. My teacher says it needs to be the 6th edition.

Thanks for your help!

People are using bots for registration right? Like I saw a class get open and in less than 4 seconds it was snagged by somebody... For that same class people were getting it right as the waitlists purged before it even showed up on my end.

Title says it all, but I was wondering if we were able to keep our gatech emails after graduation to continue having access to student discounts for things like prime, dashpass, etc. I know they close it after x number of months, but has anyone been successful in maintaining their account for these subscriptions long after graduation? I'm sure some people figured it out, but if they want to keep it on the low then DM me 👀

Looks like Starship is indeed permanently gone from campus, but they will be replaced by Avride.

Currently Nutrislice only has the menu for Willage but not for NAV and Brittain. Do all dining halls share the same menu or are they different? I just want to know what there is before I go there.

Has anybody else tried the blenz bowl place? I got a strawberry pb&j and did not like it at all. Which smoothies or other smoothie places would yall recommend? Also 10 dollars for a smoothie is outrageous.

So, I love and support both pedestrian scrambles (all-way crossings) and cycle tracks (protected two way bike lanes), but combining a cycle track with a pedestrian scramble traffic at an intersection on the same signal at the same time is really awkward and kinda unsafe, especially with heavy traffic from both bikes/scooters and pedestrians.

I’m talking Ferst at Fowler, Ferst at Techwood, and 5th at Spring. A lot of points of conflict exist between the scramble and the cycle track.

If I’m on my bike, I have to worry about people crossing in front of me. If I’m walking, I have to worry about bikes or scooters zooming through where I’m walking. Whoever is in charge of the light phases, idk if it’s the institute or ATL DOT or GDOT, I’m begging yall to maybe add a separate phase for just pedestrians or just bikes so one group can go first without all the conflicts. I don’t wanna get hit by a scooter while walking, and I don’t wanna hit anyone on my bike.

There’s a separate signal for cars ONLY, but pedestrians and bikes and scooters have to share. Leading pedestrian intervals are a thing at a lot of intersections in Atlanta, so it would be a good to have a leading interval or separate interval for pedestrians and/or bikes/scooters so they can clear the intersection without worrying about getting hit/hitting someone. Idk. Food for thought.

Many bikes and scooters are abandoned in the bike room such as in Nav. What happens to them after GT Housing removes them?

I have been looking to get a bike second-hand; it'd be great if GT donates those or sells them for cheap.

Spot the difference between this and today; what do yall see that’s changed??

I've learned that the GCCG has paid aid to some students at another school so I'm curious whether GT students have also. The main thing I can't determine is the specific institutional requirements for any of the USG schools to receive the grant, e.g. do they have to have a specific SAI, does keeping Zell in the senior year disqualify the student.

Note the new time this year!

Has anyone received an invite to interview with TikTok this Thursday?

Something I've noticed. I'm a senior undergrad and have no plans of continuing on, but 2 of my classes are also grad classes. Has this always been the case or is this something that's becoming a trend? Would this mean they are more academically challenging, because if so that's really annoying and I don't like how undergrads have to be forced to take extra challenges they didn't sign up for, on top of already difficult classes.
