What are some stereotypes about Georgia Tech students?
Georgia Tech is a large university geared toward technical studies like science and engineering, and so the students here are considered to be fairly “nerdy” or “geeky” by people unfamiliar with the student body. There is an old saying about Georgia Tech males (who make up 65-70% of the student body), that “the odds are good, but the goods are odd.” There are a lot of folks who think Georgia Tech men and women like to be huddled in their room, playing video games and writing computer programs. Also, there is a stereotype that Georgia Tech women are unattractive, or, at best, “cute.” One prevailing myth is that everyone at Georgia Tech studies engineering, which is not even close to being true.
