<p>I noticed that most GA tech students (or at least people n this forum) are engineering or physics-related students. I also hear that their workload is hellish and they pull all nighters to get a C.. etc etc. In fact, what percentage of students are engineering or physics majors?</p>
<p>Anyway, Is the workload the same for Bio, Biomed, or chem majors? How many labs do they do a week? How are their professors? </p>
<p>Also, I am an extremely shy female. Is it easy to make friends in GA tech seeing as it's a huge public university??</p>

Biomed…you mean biomedical engineering? that is an engineering major.</p>
<p>IDK the answer cause I’m an mech. E. major.

<p>GT definitely is not as big as other public universities (U-mich, UIUC, UC’s, UGA, etc.). It is rather small compared to others. You will notice that on campus you will most likely run into the same people several times during the course of the day. </p>
<p>If you are in-state and already know some people, it won’t be hard to branch out. </p>
<p>If you are in-state but don’t know anyone going to GT or you are OSS it will be harder because the majority of students are in-staters that already have a group of friends they hang out with, but if you try hard enough you’ll make friends. Tip: Start by making friends in you dorm hall section.</p>
<p>Since you are shy, it will be harder. However, the fact that you are a girl might encourage more guys to come and talk to you (the ratio ), but don’t count on that too much.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the natural science majors, but as a Management alum, I can tell you that if I didn’t want to attend a top-tier PhD program in my area of business, my life would’ve been ridiculously easy. I could probably have partied everyday and still gotten a 3.0 cumulative average prior to graduating.</p>

<p>If it’s huge, that just means it’s more likely that you’ll find a group of people with whom you share interests. I add that if you’re good looking, guys will find you; I promise. I had a great time as an undergrad at Tech, but I knew I had to leave when I saw two guys surrounding one girl turn into five guys in a span of ONE MINUTE while I was in the bathroom. That is not an exaggeration. I walked across the atrium in the Management building to go to the bathroom, saw a girl whom I had unsuccessfully tried to pick up the week before listen to two guys spit game, and came out sixty seconds later only to find that three more guys had joined in. I just shook my head, laughed, and wondered why these guys hadn’t seen A Beautiful Mind.</p>
<p>you probably won’t be a loner at tech, but who knows haha. i’m sure there will be a lot of people from overseas and other u.s. states that will be looking to make new friends. i’m out of state and i found some good friends both from instate and out of state. as long as you try, you will make friends.</p>
), but don’t count on that too much.</p>
