  1. Hey all. I'll also be starting at Tech this fall. Like TKassis, I decided to live off-campus. I did it during undergrad, and I guess I've gotten used to the lifestyle! I'll be living with two roommates from undergrad in a Homepark townhouse. I've heard mixed reviews about the on-campus housing. When I did the campus visit, one of the students in my department had been living on campus for a number of years, and he didn't have any huge complaints. But it sounds like greekthunder's had a pretty poor time there. Sorry I can't provide much better insight. By the way, what programs are y'all starting? There hasn't been much of a Tech presence on the boards recently, and I'm eager to meet other students. I'm a PhD student in the ECE department, concentrating in analog VLSI and neuromorphic engineering.
  2. Greekthunder: Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that people were so dissatisfied with Tech's housing. Is there anything in particular that people complain about? I'll definitely check out the Post-Biltmore apartments now that you mention them.
  3. Hey guys. I'll be starting my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Tech next year. I think I'll probably be living on campus my first year, to get a feel for the area and develop some friendships. After that, I hope to move off-campus. I am currently residing off-campus, and I prefer being able to go home and relax without much hubbub surrounding me.
  4. I agree that I would like to date someone who is my equal in most regards. I don't understand the households where the man is clearly dominant, or where the woman reigns supreme. It seems like that sort of inequality would bring resentment over the years. However, I disagree that education is necessarily an indicator of someone who is my equal. Like posters have said above: some people just can't be bothered with academics, even if they're very smart and motivated. I also would like to emphasize what some others have stated: perhaps the school itself isn't the best place to look for a mate, especially in fields dominated by a single gender. I guess I'll probably try some more non-traditional dating methods.
  5. Hey hoping, Thanks! I was accepted to GA Tech in very early February. Good luck with your results.
  6. The thread entitled "relationships" is a great place for people currently in relationships to discuss how grad school affects their plans. But I've been wondering about those of us who are single and hope to meet someone in grad school. I believe it would be a great place to find someone with similar goals. Most grads are smart, hard-working, and passionate about what they do and are seeking people with similar qualities. Does anyone here have experience with the grad school dating scene? Is it difficult to find someone when you're so specialized and don't get to meet people from other areas? In what venues have you met people to date? Is anyone frustrated by lack of options (especially in fields dominated by a single gender)? My undergraduate experience has been discouraging thus far. I'm at a very small, male-dominated engineering school, and my options have been extremely limited for four years. I'm hoping that changes at my big state school next year.
  7. I applied to PhD programs. Below are my results. Accepted: Georgia Tech, University of Florida, University of Utah, Johns Hopkins (no funding at JHU, though). Waitlisted: MIT Rejected from PhD but accepted to MS program: Stanford
