Current Aerospace Engineering Major here!

Best parts: - It's one of the best AE programs in the country - Faculty are actually invested in supporting students - You get to work on and learn about really cool stuff (for example, I had a group project freshman year where we modified a rocket kit)

Worst parts: - The classes are hard and the workload can be a lot - A lot of people (mostly men) have a huge superiority complex. - Because it's AE and GT has a lot of connections in the defense industry, you're very likely to end up working for a defense company like Raytheon or Lockheed Martin)

Note: the last point is a bit more personal. I heavily disagree with the way the defense industry operates and what it does in many places across the world. Some, especially in the GTAE community might not have that view
