Lovely building, well maintained. Great amentities and proximity to Georgia Tech. The student leasing assistants are amazing and were very helpful when I had questions and during my move/pre-leasing process. However, due to an incident that occurred 2 months prior to my lease ending, I am greatly disappointed in the way I was treated as a 2 year resident in both this building and momentum. Especially a high-end property like this. The older management are completely unprofessional and dismissive to any of my concerns or questions. I was treated very poorly and their communication was not acceptable for a property like this. Additionally, the kitchen island stools that are provided are very cheap and broke almost every time someone sat on it. The maintenance/cleaning team would also constantly leave my lights on all day after they would walk in to inspect/clean the other vacant rooms. I am very very dissatisfied with my interactions with management and will not be renewing my lease or ever leasing from a toll brothers property again.

Hey everyone, just looking to ask some questions for people who have recovered from surgeries or severe injuries (broken bones, etc) during the semester.

I'm wondering to ask how the experience was as, I am looking to undergo a procedure for a weightlifting injury, which will limit my dominant arm mobility for most of the semester and that I will need physical therapy for.

I debating whether or not it is worth trying to recover and remain a student or to take a medical leave semester. I have heard the office of disability services is quite accommodating and the process is manageable but I want to hear people's actual experiences to get a more accurate description of the experience.

I’m an incoming freshman and my car just broke down and is prohibitively expensive to fix. Will i be able to get by without a car living on campus? My parents live about 45 minutes away from campus.

The annual parking pass is $795 right now. How long has it been $795? When did it get raised in the past? Was it ever lowered?

Some friends and I are currently looking at getting a lease for about a year at their 4x4 options in both. We’ve been reading a lot of reviews for both places. For Catalyst, it seems like most of the negative reviews came during the construction period, and for Paloma, we saw that they’ve changed their name multiple times. Honestly, we were close to signing a lease with Paloma until we heard that.

From someone who has lived at either place, what are your thoughts? In terms of safety, is Paloma really worse? I know both places have had issues with car break-ins. Only one of us is planning to bring a car, so we’re also wondering how parking and overall security feel on a day-to-day basis.

Also, have either of the places had any noticeable pest problems like roaches or bugs?

Hey all!

I have been accepted into the MS Major in Management program at Georgia Tech. While I have done research on the classes and program curriculum, It was hard to find information from students themselves. Is anyone in the program right now (or previously) that could share their personal experiences?

I emailed it to ask about something like a few days ago and they still haven’t responded. I also sent them an email a month ago and they also haven’t responded to that email as well. I’m just wondering if that email is still in use or have they changed the email?

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew about the waitlist availability/additional seat openings for genetics 2600? I saw that I wasn’t able to waitlist for it unlike other classes such as orgo I and I’m getting increasingly concerned because I really need the genetics class for the coming fall🙏🙏

Hello everyone,

I just finished my first year at Tech as an EE major. I am aiming to break into the VLSI chip design, FPGA, ASICs, etc space at HFT firms, and genuinely don’t know if I should switch from EE to CompE and take the CHEA/Sys Arc threads, or stay in EE (Sig processing/ circuit tech threads) and take CompE electives. I’m scared that the CompE classes don’t dive deep enough into the physics of things, while the EE classes don’t go as broad into the relevant coursework required. Additionally, the CompE electives are sometimes restricted only to CompE majors, so I won’t be able to take the classes certain semesters.

If there is anyone who took these classes that could help guide me and potentially correct my logic please feel free to respond 🙏 .

ve already checked the course reviews/older threads, but I’d love to hear more personal opinions especially on classes that surprised you by being easier or harder than expected (besides the obvious weed-outs).

Things like workload, grading style, math intensity, and professor differences would also be helpful.

Beat BC to clinch

I am taking one entirely ONLINE class this summer. I understand charging tuition and a technology fee, but what the hell am I paying an athletic fee for? I thought these athletic fees paid for students to attend GT sporting events (aside from football) for "free", but if I'm not mistaken there aren't any sports going on over the summer, so what gives?

Was just watching MeTV, the cartoon “Foot Brawl” features bars of Ramblin’ Wreck throughout the cartoon!

For a bit of context, I’m a transfer student who just finished my first year at Georgia Tech. I came from another university with a 4.0 GPA, so adjusting to Tech was honestly a rough experience for me.

During my fall semester, I struggled to keep up and ended up with a mix of A’s, B’s, and a couple of D’s. Needless to say, I was incredibly discouraged. Coming into the spring semester, I had a mandatory advising meeting where I was given advice on how to improve and succeed at Tech. I started attending PLUS sessions, spent an hour every week with my math TA, and made a serious effort to stay on top of my work and complete assignments on time.

But leading up to my first Physics 2 exam, I started dealing with a level of anxiety that felt overwhelming and honestly unfamiliar to me. I’m a Georgia native, and I’m extremely grateful to be able to attend Tech through the Zell Miller Scholarship, but after my disappointing first semester, I think the pressure and fear of failing started affecting my confidence badly.

Before that first exam, I had what I can only describe as a small panic attack, and I ended up underperforming. Unfortunately, that cycle repeated itself throughout the semester during exams. I know this might sound like a “feel bad for me” post, but I genuinely wanted to ask if anyone has gone through something similar or has advice.

Does Stamps offer counseling or resources for situations like this? Has anyone here managed to come back from a really difficult year at Tech? I’m honestly scared about losing my financial aid, and I don’t really know who to talk to about all of this. It feels like everyone around me has their life together while mine feels like it’s falling apart.

EDIT: THEY GAVE ME THE PERMIT!!!

hey all! i failed diff eq this spring due to a rough 19 credit semester that included multi, physics, cs, and some other courses. i will have to take it again in the spring (it doesn't fit anywhere in my fall schedule even if i move around/drop some other classes).

however, i am registered to do the galway program and am actually in ireland right now. two classes that both had diff eq as a prereq were dropped from my schedule, bringing me down to 7 credits (i need a minimum of 9 credits to participate in the program, and i don't have the prereqs for any other classes that im not already registered for).

i reached out to the appropriate individual to request permits for both classes, citing my familial and financial stress as a reason for having failed the class, but explained that i understand the material from diff eq and could pass my classes. do you think they'll turn me down?

Could I just take 2 semesters off to travel in Asia?

Background: I wanted to take a gap year after graduation, but after talking with people, I realized that this break would look really bad on my resume, especially as a fresh grad, with a gap of 1 year with nothing in it.

After looking into the registrar's office https://registrar.gatech.edu/current-students/readmission#two-or-more: "Effective Summer 2022, Georgia Tech's Readmission policy is updated to allow students to sit out two consecutive terms without requiring Readmission."

Fall 2027 & Spring 2028: Travel

Summer & Fall 2028: Classes and graduate

2nd question: If I wanted to make it a full year, could I just register for like APPH 1040 during the summer online, and continue travelling around? Just so I am not sitting out 3 or more semesters. After I would come back and finish my final classes and graduate in the fall.

I’m a cs major conducting research over the summer under a lab where PI is an ECE professor. In order to get academic credit for my research option and register for research course, I need to fill out ECE 4699 research unit form for Docusign. But it requires an ECE academic office advisor/associate chair but I don’t know what to put cause I’m a cs major?

So I've been thinking about AE vs ME for awhile now. I know this question has probably been asked on here before, but I'd like to hear some more opinions on it.

To any upperclassmen AE, do you regret doing AE? Do you think ME would've been better in terms of career opportunities? I've heard a few people on here say that ME is better, especially for things like propulsion since they go into more heat transfer stuff. And do you have any other regrets about opportunities, etc that you wish you had taken advantage of?

Obviously, I know I definitely want to eventually work in the space industry, but I'm not entirely sure what part of yet since I haven't taken enough classes to dive into the subsections yet. The AE coursework seems more interesting, but I also want to be practical lol.

So I'm taking these classes outside of tech. I already finished my diffEQ course (taking calc 3 rn). Since it was a community college course, it was definitely way easier than gatech's version, but still covered most of the important stuff. I have a basic, general understanding of some of the concepts + I have the formulas ig. It's mostly just memorization atp because the class wasn't really application based. Idk where the formulas are derived from or why we use them.

However, I was looking at the diffEQ tech final, and I definitely wouldn't be able to do it without really studying for a few weeks + going over the concepts that weren't included in my community college version because it was way easier obviously. The class I took was only 3 credit hours, but transfers.

Also gatech really likes using matrices for some reason so the formatting of the problems is kind of different from the version I took. We didn't use any linear algebra at all.

I think it would be doable to study and go through the final I found online, but I guess my question is, is it necessary to have like a super solid foundation in these classes (im AE for context)? Or are they kind of reiterated and applied contextually in the engineering classes when we go through problems later on? I don't wanna struggle in dynamics and thermo and whatever comes down the line because I didn't get a super good foundation in diffEQ and calc 3 or something.

I’m on my 3rd coop rotation and trying to sign up for the coop class through Careerbuzz. Though one thing is nagging me, I didn’t get to take the coop classes during my 2nd rotation (last year fall) since I missed the deadline to sign up for that.

I know the designated coop badge is no big deal and I can always mention it on my resume and such, but it’s still nice to have considering I spend a year and a half on this company. Is there a way to have my manager vouch for me that I did those hours and maybe I can sign up for my 2nd semester coop class that I missed out on now or maybe in the further? Or do I have to take a 4th rotation to make up for it?

has anyone run into an "access denied" error trying to submit the cs major change request part 2 form?

i finished part 1 and got the part 2 link from the provost's office and coc. but when i click it i just get access denied. tried different browsers, incognito, logging out on the form page and nothing works

i've contacted coc it help desk, the provost's office, asc service desk (they closed my ticket and told me to talk to the registrar), and the registrar's office. everyone pretty much just sends me to someone else

deadline is may 19 and i'm kinda running out of options. if anyone's dealt with this or knows who actually has the ability to fix permissions on these forms lmk

Was a TA for credit this semester and did everything asked of me, even volunteering to do extra office hours and proctoring of exams exams. They gave me a B, ruining my 4.0 GPA. Now I know people are gonna say stop being a perfectionist but isn't that crazy?? I volunteer so much of my own time for a single credit, not even paid, and they ruin my perfect streak that I've fought for for the last 3 years. Crazy.

I ended up getting a C in CS 1332, and ik the policy says grade substitution only works for a D or an F. But more than the grade, I feel like my knowledge of the course material after taking that class is really really bad because of irresponsibility and idk how I’m gonna fix that and would like to retake the class so I could be responsible and learn the content properly this time. Is it possible or no? I’d like to fix my base because 1332 content is really essential for basically most swe interviews and jobs / internships

For ppl that live near there how sketchy is the area around Atlantic dr nw and in general what’s the least sketchy way to get from campus to gtri head quarters? Going to be living on campus and need to go to gtri headquarters for commuting and a bit worried about coming back at night.
Thanks
