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.
