<p>I've already compared academics. Could someone compare the social life at Georgia Tech to UF. As a man, the male:female ratio of GT concerns me. I'm not concerned with parties. I want to be able to find a couple of good friends and have an enjoyable college life. I'm more laid back than most science and engineering majors, so I'm trying to figure out which would be a better fit.</p>
<p>Cross posting with the GT forum for more answers</p>
<p>Do you like football?</p>
<p>Speaking as someone who actually attended both (Tech for freshman year… ended up not liking Engineering, then transferred to UF to do Information Systems/Operations Management), I preferred the Tech social life. The male:female ratio isn’t bad (numerically, it sucks), but if you’re not socially awkward, it’s pretty easy to hang out with the females.</p>
<p>I also don’t party, and am described as having an “engineering mindset”</p>
<p>The people I hung out with were all the relaxed type.</p>
<p>(PS - Towers dorm, while crap, rocks from a social aspect)</p>
<p>I don’t dislike football, and would probably go to games occasionally, but could barely care less about it in comparison to most. There are so many obsessive football fans.</p>
<p>Thankfully I’m not socially awkward, or at the very least I don’t think I am. Definitely odd though.</p>
<p>I Know you would definitely find something you’re interested in. UF’s Quidditch team won the world cup in new york last year (haha), there’s a skydiving group called the falling gators, and there are countless groups that create autonomous subs, drones, etc. </p>
<p>Some really cool things, and something for everyone.</p>
<p>comparing the social life at Ga Tech to UF’s. Is impossible there is no comparison.</p>
<p>My son was accepted to both schools. He spent a weekend in Ga Tech with a friend his HS year. That is all it took.</p>
<p>And yes he is an Engineering major.</p>
<p>The best thing you could do is visit both campuses and decide for yourself.</p>
