College Prowler Take

Typical Tech students are very hard-working and highly- motivated, regardless of their gender. Georgia Tech has a small contingent of stereotypical, laid-back, party-animal guys and girls. However, many guys tend to follow more of an academic persuasion and are not as interested in large social events. It is possible that many of the guys would be apt to considering themselves “loners.” Guys at Georgia Tech outnumber girls by almost three to one.

Girls at Georgia Tech are usually exceptionally intelligent and enthusiastic about their course of study, but they are generally more socially inclined. Sorority girls are very social, almost without exception, which works well for like-minded guys; however, fraternity guys are not all so socially minded, as fraternities exist for many different reasons (business, ethnicity, academics, etc.). In the end, though, any grade on the fairer sex suffers because there are just so few of them.

Tech's ratio really sucks. A lot of people defend the numbers with the argument that there is an equal amount of socially minded girls and guys, but the truth is Tech does very poorly when it comes to the girls category. Although there is still more action to be had at Tech than there was in high school, the action is not as pretty. You'll get Tech goggles and get with some pretty questionable girls, which is fine--we all do it, just don't expect your non-Tech friends to be as accepting of her appearance as your classmates here are.

Most of the girls are not all that, and the ones that are have attitudes. I have found a few that were enjoyable to talk to. 50 percent of the guys are really nerdy and have nothing else to their personality. It depends on the major. Look for guys in non-engineering majors. The girls are just ugly—let’s put it that way.

The guys range through the spectrum. At a school that is like 75 percent guys, I’m sure you can find whatever you’re looking for. There are big dumb jocks, smart geeky nerds, and mixes of both. The girls are a little different. A lot of the ones I’ve met from sororities seem to be really fake. Many of the girls on campus are also not very attractive. There are some hot ones here, but most of them know they’re hot.

What girls? The ratio at Tech is almost three to one, so there are lots of guys. The guys are all really sweet, though. Although women are a serious minority in engineering, I’ve never met a guy that has ever doubted my capabilities. The girls on campus are incredibly inspirational. They are definitely some of the most capable, enthusiastic, and motivated people I’ve ever met in my life! Since there aren’t many girls, most guys will do anything to hang out with a female, even if it means helping her out with her schoolwork.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - The Women's Clinic offers birth control, emergency contraception, pregnancy tests, exams, and STD testing.

Social Scene

Many people hang out at fraternities on the weekends, but older students like to go to bars. Going out is harder for non-Greek men, as most fraternities don’t want guys at their parties that aren’t in their fraternity. Many people also simply hang out in their dorms or apartments with their friends.

Hookups or Relationships?

Tech is a fairly monogamous campus. Of course there are lots of random hookups, just like any college campus, but for the most part, people like to be in relationships. Girls with boyfriends in fraternities usually hang out at that fraternity a great deal. Shacking, or sleeping over at someone’s place, and the walk of shame the morning after, are common occurrences on campus.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

The two best places to meet individuals of the opposite sex are at fraternity parties and in class.

Dress Code

People at Tech are pretty preppy. On a given day most will be seen wearing polos, jeans, khakis, Uggs, or flip-flops. Rain boots and coats are also a must for rainy days.
