I was a first generation college student, so I wasn't aware that with my good academic background, I should have targeted GA Tech/UGA. I didn't feel like I was in a culture, though there were frats/sororities, student groups, etc. There is a large prescence of black students, and the school almost seems like an HBSU.

Some parts of the school were designed from an old parking deck built many, many years previous to the school using them. The halls were slanted but I'd say they were pretty inventive! The classrooms were always big enough for the class size. And the dining hall was fairly large when I went there.
