    Georgia Tech scholarships breakdown — what's available for out-of-state?

    The "don't count on full rides" advice is real. I'm out-of-state and didn't get any merit aid from Tech. My strategy was: Applied for national scholarships (Coca-Cola, Gates, etc.) Applied for local scholarships through my community foundation Applied for departmental scholarships at Tech...

    How do I schedule a mock interview at the Career Center?

    I booked through Handshake — that's how most schools do it now. Log in, go to Career Center tab, look for "appointments" and select "mock interview." But GCSU might have a different system. The phone number they gave is probably fastest. Just call and say you're a junior needing mock interview...

Top districts with recipients: DeKalb (742), Henry (680), Bibb (469), Richmond (427), Savannah-Chatham . So it's not just metro Atlanta—it's reaching rural areas too. If...

    What's winter actually like in Georgia? Is there snow ever? ❄️

    Okay, after complaining about the summer heat for months, I'm now entering my first Georgia winter and I have questions. Back in Minnesota, winter is a serious event. You prepare.

    How bad is humidity in Georgia really?

    Okay, so I arrived in Atlanta for orientation and I take back every complaint I ever made about Minnesota cold. At least when it's cold you can put on more layers. When it's humid, you just... exist in a state of permanent dampness. I stepped outside and my glasses fogged up instantly. My shirt...

    Is the weather in Atlanta really that hot? I'm from Minnesota. ☀️

    I'm from Minnesota and I chose Georgia Tech partly because I'm so sick of snow. Like, genuinely cannot handle another winter scraping ice off my car at 6 AM. The idea of going to school where it's warm sounds like paradise. ☀️ But now I'm hearing from friends that "warm" in Georgia means...

    Kennesaw State: From commuter school to legit university. 🦉

    The transformation is actually insane to witness. When I started, campus basically shut down at 5pm. Now? The dining halls stay busy, the library is packed at midnight, there are events every weekend. The university invested in making this a place people WANT to be, not just a place they pass...

    Are cellphones banned in Georgia schools?

    My little sister is in 7th grade and she told me her school is taking phones away next year. I thought she was joking. She's not. Apparently Georgia passed a law banning phones from kindergarten through 8th grade starting fall 2026 . I'm in high school, so I thought I was safe. But now I'm...
