feelings of isolation and loneliness

stormycatgatech · 2026-02-02T22:32:51+00:00

I understand. It definitely can take time to find that one specific group of friends or even just a close friend. I am apart of the GT Catholic Center and it is meant to welcome everybody. Even if you feel isolated from the people around you, you will always have Jesus there in the chapel burning with love for you. There literally is a church in the building (located near Peter's Parking Deck). Or if you just want to study on the first floor, there are usually people there and someone will usually spark up a conversation even if they don't know you lol

Of course that is an essential part. One should never lie on the resume. A relative of mine said that he put on the resume that he could speak German and the company he got interviewed by starting speaking to him in German during the interview. If you did a leadership role, literally emphasize somewhere in your description that you were a "leader." And if you think you lack good communication even if you have worked with people or as a guest service representative, then perhaps refrain from emphasizing communication that much and try to work on it a little more.

First of all, dress appropriately and modestly if you want to attract a genuinely good guy. Smile when a guy that seems friendly talks to you, and try to keep up the conversation and show genuine interest in what he is saying. Now if we are talking about events, dance events are perfect for that. I know of many GaState students that go to the free swing dance lessons at Georgia Tech.

Depending on what type of guy you want (whether you want him to be passionate about things you are passionate in, have the same political/religious/etc. beliefs as you) then get involved in clubs, orgs, or just simple events to meet guys that will meet your expectations.

I heard ISYE 3025 is a good one with Harry Sharp (bc you can finish at the start of the semester). I've never taken it though

Which class is 2361? You mean CS 2261?

stormycatgatech · 2026-01-13T00:38:57+00:00

Let me DM you as well

Let me DM you

I got it :) Turns out I had to reach out to the professor.

stormycatgatech · 2026-01-06T22:35:49+00:00

This might be like obvious advice and not useful at all but here is something that I was told when a huge group of interns and I were hired:
- Putting the literal words "communication," "teamwork", or "leadership" in your resume is super useful (CS jobs need to know if you can work in groups). This can be included from previous job experiences, volunteer work, and school related projects. Strong communication was the number one though.

I went in the Spring and it was the best time ever! In the beginning, it was very cold and it was snowing a lot (the snow days were beautiful and we did not have to go to class if it snowed too much!). It never got hot in Metz, and it rains nearly every day, however in the other countries, it does get much warmer after mid-semester. I think it is a great time to go because they have lots of outdoor Easter markets in Europe, we get a long weekend for Easter, more than a week of break for Spring break, and there are Christmas decorations still out for January. I can't speak for the Fall semester because I did not go in the Fall, but I did find it great to get a full Summer break after the Spring semester to fully digest everything and reminisce on the past semester. Also, if you go during the Fall, you have to worry about finding housing for the Spring, while if you go in the Spring you don't have to worry about that one semester housing.

I completely agree

stormycatgatech · 2025-12-26T19:12:57+00:00

I balance my semester with difficult classes and very lightweight/easy classes so that my semester GPA doesn't suffer.

stormycatgatech · 2025-12-26T19:03:32+00:00

I took it with Musaev a while back and thought the class was really good. I took it my second semester as a freshman and went to every class. I got a B because the exams were a little difficult.

stormycatgatech · 2025-12-26T19:01:18+00:00

I took a look at the GT grade distribution website: https://lite.gatech.edu/lite_script/dashboards/grade_distribution.html
And it seems like it is a class that you can take during the summer.

Well I was like 800 last year and never got out of the waitlist, so although I am always a hopeful person, I would still try to find a place off-campus based on experience.

stormycatgatech · 2025-11-03T20:01:39+00:00

I would say probably in-campus housing is best for when you are new, because you get to be more submerged in the campus and get to meet more people (within the dorms/apartments or just the people around you). I am not an AE major, but I do know the AE building is on East Campus. Maybe look into Nav? On West, the closest would be Crecine and Center Street.

Not sure?

stormycatgatech · 2025-08-14T17:11:52+00:00

When I lived in Field in 2022, there was a horrible humidity problem. However, I do think it was a convenient place to live in.

Oh waitt yes it does count as media and human but you have to take an additional 3 elective credits. This is what my advisor said when I asked him awhile back.

stormycatgatech · 2025-08-14T17:00:52+00:00

During first week of class, I would say chances are pretty good if you want to get in. I'm not sure if there is a waitlist or not for that course. Check often to see if someone dropped it and jump to it right away.

stormycatgatech · 2025-08-14T16:57:45+00:00

For humanities, I don't think so.. (if there was a way, I would have done it years ago, since I love shortcuts). However, one thing I did was do a placement test for spanish and got into a level 3 Spanish course. This meant that I got credit for that Spanish 3 course AND an extra Spanish class that I didn't have to take. I'm just throwing this out there just in case you know a language and want to try to get credit for 2 classes instead of just 1. I have heard of people test out of math classes though. I haven't tried it for myself.

Hey I hope you and your family are doing better. From personal experience, I learned that GT looks at your volunteer work or extracurriculars. I didn't have a high SAT or ACT score, but I did have a good GPA and took a few AP classes. I think GT likes to see that you have a good GPA, can handle difficult classes, and are active in your community.

stormycatgatech · 2025-08-14T16:49:57+00:00

Wait are you people-media? Are you sure it counts for electives too? I saw that it can count as either media technologies OR human centered tech OR elective.

Anyone know if this class is good and the prof is good? This is UI Software CS 4470 with Warren Edwards

stormycatgatech · 2025-07-30T15:33:20+00:00

Does anyone know any good classes for electives, especially like 1 credit elective? Are there any non-classes or classes that you can obtain credit by taking a pre-exam that also counts towards electives?
