<p>Speaking as someone who actually attended both schools (Georgia Tech freshman year, UF to actually graduate…), they’re two entirely different atmospheres, entirely ignoring what cities both are in.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech has a undergrad body of about 13,000 - you get to know the student body a whole lot better. You might not know everyones name, but you definitely start recognizing them and know someone who would. Tech is entirely geared towards engineering - the student body and the campus reflect this. The friends you have will be engineers (primarily). As to the girl/guy ratio, it’s what you make it - I had more female friends at Tech than I did male friends (admittedly, I also prefer smaller circles to larger ones)</p>
<p>UF on the other hand, with an undergrad body of nearly 45,000 - I would walk the same way at the same time every day on campus and see completely different people. UF’s population is very diverse from a major-perspective - you’ll have a lot of business, and liberal arts majors. The ratio is definitely closer to 50/50.</p>
<p>Sidenote… Tech, despite being an out of state tuition, isn’t THAT expensive (at least relative to UF as an out of state)… I think it was $20k/yr, including dorm.</p>
