<p>Hi guys</p>
<p>I'm still weighing my options between Emory and Tech, but probably leaning towards Tech.
I got accepted to AE, but I'm considering doing BME at Tech. </p>
<p>I heard that BME at Tech is very rigorous and it's like hell and you won't have a social life, etc. Is it true? Anyone who is currently major in BME at Tech, can you pls give me more insight into this programme at Tech? </p>
<p>Thanxx, any help is much appreciated =)</p>
<p>I’m not personally majoring in BME, but a lot of my friends are. It is a lot of work (you need SOO many hours to graduate!), but with regards to not having a social life… it is what you make of it. Although you might not be able to go out 3 nights a week and keep a decent GPA, as long as you go to your classes and actually pay attention, you should definitely be able to manage one or two nights. You might have to pull a couple reallyyyy late nights, but that’s universal for practically all majors here.</p>
<p>Anybody else?</p>
<p>Thanxx =)</p>

<p>Guys, any insight or opinion is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I think you’re asking the wrong question … </p>
<p>No matter what your major is, if you like what you’re doing, you’ll put probably more hours/effort in than ‘required’, simply because you like it. If you put in additional effort, you’ll get better grades and, most importantly, you don’t ‘realize’ it as ‘duty’. </p>
<p>So - if you ‘like’ what you’re doing, “no” major appears “hard” to you - and on the other hand, if you don’t really like what you’re doing, any major is a pain in the back-side! </p>
<p>My son (ChemE at Tech) has wonderful grades, and he has tons of hobbies and non-academic activities … 
(he loves what he’s doing). I know one of his roommates is a BME major, and that guy has equally wonderful grades and as many outside activities as my son … </p>
<p>Key to success is that you have a certain talent (to learn relatively easily) and discipline - I’m sure they both study regularly 1-2 hr per credit hour in average - definitely NOT more than 2. The key-word here is ‘regularly’ … </p>
<p>Besides that I can only confirm 3coolcats’ statement - when you go to class, pay attention!!</p>
