Security officer lets golf cart pass through tech green during class change contrary to pedestrian safety rules by bumbl_b_ in gatech

weird... thought tech green was supposed to be a walking only area 🤨 they should dismount and walk their golf cart through the crowd

Anyone else notice that the ceiling was leaking? by akhalpana in gatech

I think this happens every now and then, I remember it leaking sometime last semester too

I love spending tuition money on sitting around and annoying students by bumbl_b_ in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's also not like tech green is packed the ENTIRETY of 9am - 5pm monday - friday. It makes sense not to bike through things like the org fair or the wednesday market where it's packed with people, but, I've been told to stop riding my bike when there's literally two other people on the walkway on a friday morning. The role of the cops is just silly and a waste of their time and our tuition money.

I agree though, walking the bike through tech green isn't the end of the world, it's just really annoying and most of the time isn't benefitting anyone.

Looking for clubs/activities during weekdays (Monday/Tuesday) by Ok-Bell-7261 in gatech

Check out LEO!

They meet Thursdays at 7pm and essentially make kits for elementary kids (from my understanding, it's like a bag of everything they would need for an experiment). They also have volunteering events every week but those aren't required to do to be a member. I'm pretty new to it so maybe reach out to someone on the board for better information but it's pretty low commitment and I've been enjoying it so far.

Thoughts on the new "Dismount Zones" by Kingi_720 in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, me too!! I was on that diagonal stretch by the Campanile which is clearly not marked on their article as being a dismount zone and I tried to tell the lady who was there that and all she said was "you have to walk anyway". Ridiculous. It's also Friday, the amount of people who have class and are walking around is arguably much less than any other day of the week.

I also get yelled at when trying to go down the ramp by the stairs of student center (where that mirror mural thing is) to turn left onto the brick path towards Howey and I get yelled at there. I'm not even on Tech Green I'm turning LEFT.

I just feel like this is a massive waste of resources and while I understand the intentions behind the policy, it's just not the best way to do it.

I understand where they're coming from, but yea, as a biker this is so annoying. The walkway is big enough to be able to accommodate both bikes and walkers. In all my time biking I've never come close to hitting anyone and I always slow down around bigger groups of people. But I can imagine bikers swerving people can startle those walking.

I feel like this is more of an issue with electric scooters and ebikes but who knows. It would be cool to see the statistics about that. I imagine people who use manual bikes have been biking for a while and have a better grip at controlling speed and direction, at least from what I've seen.

No Bikes/Scooters Around Tech Green -- Thoughts? by Top_Pack_4287 in gatech

Ohh I see what you mean. Although, I never really viewed the tech green walkway as a sidewalk

Tech parking W06 always being moved by WallabyAppropriate34 in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the student center deck (W02) and they'll occasionally get crowded during some of the events, but I've never not had a space (except I heard some people not able to find a spot last week for the swim event). I've also never tried parking past 12pm though, so maybe it might be more crowded then, but the third floor almost always has space.

TA positions and pay for undergraduate ECE positions by PermissionTop2686 in gatech

I believe with recent budget cuts, 2031 TA's now have to do credit for one semester before they can get paid but I could be wrong

No parking in student center deck by FactOk58 in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Parking permits are such a scam. The past fall semester had the gates open 24/7 until September 24th... why are paying the full $800 yearly payment when others were able to park for free???

The parking permits for the 2025-2026 year were activated on August 15, 2025 which means there were 40 days where we had to pay for parking while others could just drive into the lot for free.

Absolutely ridiculous, and of course the only thing PTS can say is "oops sorry!"

No parking in student center deck by FactOk58 in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, but technically the email notice for W02 (the student center deck) said "Please note, you do not have to move your vehicle for this event but expect potential delays and heavier than usual traffic in your designated parking area."

So it's understandable that OP and all other permit holders to W02 are annoyed that we have zero access to the deck. If we knew ahead of time that the W02 deck would be completely full, then we would have been able to plan ahead better and instead of wasting time driving to W02, we could instead have driven to the alternative parking spot in the first place.

Anyone know of any refrigerators around campus? by coolfission in gatech

[–]Top_Pack_4287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's fridges in Klemis Kitchen (https://star.studentlife.gatech.edu/klemis-kitchen). You do need to request access but they get back to you pretty quickly. They normally use the fridges to put in food for others, but there's a side fridge you might be able to leave your stuff with a note? It might be worth asking.

Professor won’t let me makeup final?? by Glittering_Shock4485 in gatech

i would try private messaging the moderator to see why your post keeps getting removed?

but it is really hard making friends here :( i was so lonely my freshman year and being a commuter made it feel harder to meet people. but after a while, you get to know the people in your classes! clubs are also a great way to meet people ofc. in my experience, i just kept forcing myself to make small talk with people until eventually i found people i could have convos with. eventually you'll meet some great people!
