Pros

It has great facilities to do research. Students are also very good in general, especially the graduate students. The student body and also the staff is quite diverse. And off course the weather is great. Snow is rare, so you do not have to clean your car every winter. The institute supports greatly student and staff travel. The reimbursement is at par with the professor level even for graduate student. That is quite generous. No need of receipts for meals etc.

Cons

Some of the support stuff are incompetent. The institute is not very student fiendly. It is more friendly to the institute employee.

Pros

At GTRI you learn a great deal about how the federal funding dictates the activities of the majority of efforts undertaken there. The upside is one sees how the federal government and civilian live are two different realms.

Cons

The culture is one of intellectual elitism and what and how many degrees you have will place you in the pecking order. Real world experience carries no water there - if you do not have an advanced degree you are but someone to tolerant.

Pros

As a graduate student you have the opportunity to obtain a world class engineering degree that will leave you with a variety of different career opportunities. The PhD program provides a challenging platform to develop your analytical and communication skills. Unlike the PhD stereotype, my experience has helped greatly develop both my written and vocal communication skills. The some programs are interdisciplinary and allow students to learn and syntesize concepts from a varitey of traditional disciplines. Georgia Tech also offers a multitude of resources, including business and language classes, which most graduate students can utilize to obtain a well rounded education.

Cons

Like most PhD programs, a timely and successful completion of the degree requires a substantial amount of work after regular hours and during weekends with little monetary compensation. Perspective students need to be aware of the time and financial commitment required.
