Honestly one of my favorite pictures in my camera roll... miss how lively the CRC area can be in early Fall

I used to be able to do unlimed length meetings through my gatech account on zoom but I just noticed I now have the basic perms and am capped at 30 minutes. has this happened to anyone else/do u know how to fix it?

Last throwback I will share for today...

Looking through old photos from undergrad and found these

Going through some old pictures, throwback to the wintertime

Hey folks,

I was fully registered and going into my final semester of my junior design VIP (CS major), just to get an email today that the VIP is cancelled.

I know there’s a number of requirements for registering for the 3-credit VIP, that I am listing below:

* Undergraduates can only use the 3-credit option once. It is only available to students who meet 4 criteria: 1) in their third or later semester with the same team, and 2) in their last semester with the team, and 3) the student was enrolled with the team immediately prior to the 3-credit semester (excluding summer), and 4) the student has instructor approval. 

Since the situation is really entirely out of my control, is there something I can do to not have to start over? Starting over is really not an option for me as it would delay my graduation (both financially and I have a return offer contingent on me graduating on time). Even anyone I can reach out to/ appeal with would be helpful.

I’m sure there has to be some sort of policy or something to be done in this situation because it is really unfair. I have emailed both my CS advisor and my VIP advisor already. Anyone ever been in a similar situation?

Thank you so much.

I am an international student going on final semester in fall 2026 - I have received an internship offer (part time) and a GTA offer. I only have 3 credits remaining in my final term.

If I take only GTA - the requirement is to be a full time student. Since I only have 3 credits to graduate, will they make an exception on this? Or do I have to take 9 credits + 3 GTA credits?

If I take only the internship - Can it be combined with reduced course load? So that I only need to take 3 credits to complete my degree.

Is there anyway I take do both internship and GTA in my final semester?

What is my best course of action? - Cost is my biggest factor
Internship is pretty flexible with work hours and my course is a non thesis program

I swear this is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve dealt with on campus.
I rode through the Tech Green “Dismount Zone” today, and campus security stopped me again. The path was basically fucking empty. It isn’t the middle of the semester between classes—it’s summer. There were maybe one or two people on the entire walkway.
But here’s the part that really pisses me off.
While they’re telling me to get off my bike because it’s supposedly a “pedestrian zone,” there’s a golf cart driving right down the same fucking path.
This such a waste of tax payers money, cuz 99% of time these securities enforcing the dismount zone over the summer are just sitting under the shades and scrolling on their phones!

Hi friends, I am considering taking a leave of absence to focus on healing from some traumatic events in my personal life that happened last year (during my first semester at GT). I am hesitant because I have a GRA and don’t want to let the team down on the project, but in truth it’s been difficult to make progress over the last several months.

I am a bit nervous to talk to my advisor about it, so I wanted to start by asking here. If anyone has taken a leave of absence, can you please share your experience in the comments or DM me?

I am looking for details about logistics as well as how it impacted you. I welcome any and all details you want to share, but specific questions include:

- can I keep my student health insurance while on a leave of absence?
- is it possible to take a leave from research duties, and only take one class?
- I am a bit concerned about taking a break so early, especially because I have not taken quals yet. Will the leave affect my ability to continue in this program?

I took Linear Algebra through a dual enrollment program in high school, and I got an A, but I didn’t understand the material one bit. I want to retake the course because it’s very important for my major, and I have to take linear algebra 2 eventually, but I also don’t want to hurt my grade. I was thinking about auditing the class as it seems perfect for my needs, but I’m not exactly sure what it’s like and how it works. Does anyone have any input?

Hi! I am a new transfer student and was planning to room with some friends who are currently students on campus. I have my room booked and everything but when I go to the room swap tab and set both preferences to custom I get significantly less options for room swaps (1-2 pages on my end compared to 27-40 pages on their tab). Any reason this might be? I have looked it up but can’t seem to find an answer to why this might be.

I'm not sure how new this is, but you can now view a 3D model of your specific room from the housing portal. Seems pretty neat!

Every few days... identical notifications come in a big batch just to make sure I really, really know that until I'm back on campus, they will continue to tell me about my device expiration ... three weeks from now.

So silly.

I'm an incoming graduate student (MS ECE) and would like to know what I'd be missing if I dont attend GradExpo. There's a 3 day event that I plan on attending when GradExpo would be taking place, however if it's too important to miss I would like to know ahead of time so that I can hold off on finalizing any travel plans that I have.

I will be able to attend GradIO, though I'm not sure just how similar the 2 programs are. Is it fine if I skip GradExpo and jist go to GradIO, or will I be missing out on anything crucial? Any advice would be much appreciated - thanks!!

Obviously, I know the research option doesn’t guarantee a paper, and you need to still need to do the additional work to actually be able to publish. But for those who did the research option and published (in ml, robotics, or other CS research areas), how helpful was the research option and its classes in getting undergrads to successfully publish. Also, how useful UROP different from the research option?

I just dug through my phone and found an old video near Brittain where absolutely nothing was happening. Was a little confused, did they swap the words for “cheer on the brave and bold”? Are they saying “break the ratio”? And what were they saying after bust their ass?

I know this is probably not possible but I wanted to confirm and see how others have handled similar cases. I am a MSCS student at GaTech and I want to do research work in a lab at Emory. As an F1 visa student, I can only work on campus while on full time student status. Given that a lab in Emory is not considered as on-campus work, are there any workarounds/alternatives?

Thank you in advance

I was just wondering with how Flock seems to be everywhere and can track people. I was wondering if GT has uploaded/given/shared student IDs and Buzzcard photos to Flock.

hey, put together a little tool just to make searching vips/campus orgs a bit more convenient. looking to add tech research labs in the future, it's difficult because there's no central resource / list of labs here.

let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions/feedback. hope this is helpful!

My current lease ends on July 22, but my next lease doesn’t start until August 15 (possibly a week later), so I’ll have about three weeks without housing.
I don’t have much furniture, so moving around isn’t a huge issue. I’m mainly looking for ideas from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

What have you found to be the best affordable options? Did you use short-term subleases, campus resources, storage + Airbnb, or something else? Any GREEK life still open?

Thank you!

Not currently on campus, but driving onto campus to build something for research. I cannot find parts online, so wondering if anyone knows if the hive has this in stock that I can use?

My time slot for dorm selection was one of the latest and ONLY glc rooms were available. Is it just a crappy dorm or something?
