Success negotiating off-campus rent?

Title. Will be forced to live off campus next year and I've seen a ton of apartments giving "black friday" discounts so I'm curious as to how flexible their prices actually are. I saw a post ~2 years ago that said Paloma and SQ5 were negotiable but I'm not sure if that's still the case today. Does anyone know/have recent experience with negotiating prices with any off-campus apartment and can share the story, whether success or fail?

so… ya boy is prolly gonna have to retake a class

assuming there isn’t a miracle on the horizon, i’m gonna have to retake a course. is my assumption that GT will take the average of both the grades and then replace it on your transcript? or will they just change the letter grade entirely once you retake it? and it has to be done within 1 calendar year (ie have to retake it before next spring)? thanks in advance everyone!

I am behind on one of my thesis by around 3 weeks (or 1.5 weeks past graduation). I am considering requesting an incomplete on my LMC class and finishing it. What will my diploma state if I do that in terms of graduation date?

Thx

Documentary Shown In INTA-2100 With Dr. Salomone?

Does anyone know what documentary on WW2 and Hitler that Dr. Salomone shows in INTA-2100? I graduated a few years ago, and I remember it being really good but can't remember what it was called. I tried checking a syllabus but couldn't find it.

DO YOUR GD CIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes like 2 minutes and almost all classes offer an incentive if enough people fill them out before a certain date (for some of my classes that date is tomorrow!). Plus, instructors really value the feedback and improving courses benefits future classes too.

Pretty much every class has a tab on canvas to get there. If not, you can access through your email.

On-Campus or Off-Campus Housing?

Just recently applied for housing since I wasn't able to apply before the deadline due to issues with my application. So I wanted to ask a couple questions and hope that there's someone who can answer them.

  1. I'm a current 2nd year and I'm #1026 on the female waitlist; will I have a chance of getting housing for next fall?
  2. Is housing guaranteed for Pell grant students who applied after the deadline?
  3. I've never lived on campus before so how likely is it for me to get off the waitlist, or is that not something I should worry about?
  4. East or West? I'm pretty outgoing but I've heard good things particularly about West and I'm looking to stay in a quiet dorm/quiet side of campus if possible.

Eighth Street Apartment is too cold; who to contact?

It's always freezing in here. Turning up the heat does nothing. Maintenance requests did nothing either.

Who should I talk to??

Why would you recommend getting a Liberal Arts Degree at GA Tech and not anywhere else in Georgia? Is Ivan Allen College really worth it?

Hi All,

I’ve always dreamed of becoming a Yellow Jacket, and recently, that dream feels closer to reality. I know Georgia Tech is renowned as a technology-focused school, excelling in math, science, engineering, and STEM fields.

However, being located in Atlanta, I see incredible opportunities to explore, learn, and engage with public works and policy. If I decide to attend the Ivan Allen College (IAC), I’m leaning toward studying International Affairs or Public Policy. That said, I have some concerns. With the school’s strong emphasis on STEM, I wonder if the resources and support for liberal arts programs might be limited. Additionally, with fewer students applying to these programs, I’m unsure how the faculty and experience compare to other schools with a broader focus on liberal arts.

That being said, I’ve seen how students have thrived, interning and excelling with their liberal arts degrees from Tech. It gives me hope that my worries might be unfounded and that Georgia Tech could be the perfect fit for all types of learners.

If you have any insights or experiences to share about pursuing a liberal arts degree at Georgia Tech or attending IAC, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks so much,
(Hopefully) A Future Yellow Jacket

Thoughts on transferring to Ga State

I’m a freshman business major thinking of transferring to GA state. I’m currently failing a math class and don’t want to lose HOPE scholarship, because without it I can’t afford school. I’ve never been good at math tbh and now I have to take calc classes. GA State has a solid business program and they only have to take algebra which I already have a credit for. Should I stay or leave?

EDIT: I just want to double major in accounting and finance, I don’t want to go into a stem field

"Malformed" post-game thoughts

Alright here we go.

  1. You love to see that kind of start to a game. Fast starts are always needed against a very good opponent to get a more defensible position. And that's exactly what we did with that shutout in the first half. That last drive to end half was a little hairy though.
  2. It was quite clear that the game plan was to control the game with the run game, drain the clock, and stay on schedule. We did that. Even when the offense got behind the sticks, Haynes King made the plays he needed to in order to get us back into a manageable position. Speaking of...
  3. Haynes King. Holy shit, what an effort. Aaron Philo has shown great confidence and potential and I was hoping they'd burn his redshirt. I'm glad they made the decision to play King instead. And he put it all out on the line. That kind of toughness is something I hope stays with the rest of the QB room.
  4. Ranking aside, this is definitely a game we should have closed out. Unfortunately we didn't. We let our opponent come back into it and then couldn't close it out. We let them make one more play than us. With that said...
  5. Great teams find a way to win. Great teams take advantage of every opportunity presented to them. That is exactly what this opponent did. It's the reason they're ranked. At the end of the day we can complain about bad calls or no-calls, but they just represent opportunities. It's up to a team to exploit them
  6. All in all, the fact that we had a winnable position against these guys is admirable. It sucks that we couldn't close it out. Call it a moral victory, but I'm gonna call it progress. After 2016, we saw our rivals rise to new heights while we kinda sputtered. That sputtering really came to a head after Paul Johnson retired, resulting in the blowout losses we sustained. To go from that to this is moving in the right direction and I firmly believe this is a game we win going forward.
  7. Coach Key is definitely the man for the job. It's showing with the results on the field, and it's showing with the results on the recruiting trail. I'd still be worried about losing Buster Faulkner and Tyler Santucci, but I have faith he'll either keep them on staff or find coaches that can match them. Thanks to him, I can keep taking games a play at a time instead of being worried about watching an impending trainwreck.

The Swarm rises once more. We will become the force every other team fears before long. We just need to keep moving forward. The bowl game awaits. On to the next challenge.

GO JACKETS!!!!!!! STING 'EM!!!!!!!

Georgia Tech wins in regulation!

For over a century, games and even championships were contested for myriad reasons. That's why the Athens inbreds only have 4 natties, and not the 6 or more they claim... or it's cause they can't count... well, maybe both are true.

Either way, this game was legitimately stolen from us on live television. We won in regulation on a(nother) 4th down stop that would've turned the ball over with the clock and timeouts within Mathematical Victory range. DPI cannot occur after a tipped ball.

Colorado doesn't have a 1990 national championship and Tech ended the 2024 reg season at 8-4 and should be playing in the CFP as the only team with 3 wins over top-10 opponents this year. Tell your grandkids and never concede the loss out loud.

This better inspire a rage unknown to man in Brent Key next year.

Brent Key needs to have this pain of defeat fester and grow for the next year. The taste of defeat in such a fashion better also inspire Buster Faulkner to THINK

Haynes King and Georgia Tech Football were Warriors!

Wow. I doubt we have a player that could start for Georgia in a position by position comparison. We had a bunch of defensive players injured, especially dbs. Haynes King was a warrior out there and left it all on the field. This was an amazing call by the coordinators. I’m excited about tech under Brent Key in the future.

A Battle Well Fought. Well done, Jackets 🫡

Just wanted to say how proud I am of tonight's performance. General reminder that this is a near 180 from where we were just 4 years ago. We went from being wiped out year after year to losing by a mere two points. We kept up a lead right up until the last quarter. We drove them into overtime for the 4th time in the history of the dwags. We drove them into 8 OVERTIMES, dragging this into one of the longest games in CFB history. IN ENEMY TERRITORY!

I dont know about y'all, but I can only imagine how terrified uga will be to play us on our own turf next year.

Well done Coach Keys, and well done Jackets. What a game!

At the end of the day, they have to live with the fact that an engineering school brought them to 8 overtimes

like LMAO not only do we have top-tier minds, and some of the biggest alum names in the academic and corporate fields, but we also held them against the only thing they could really pride themselves on against us.

Despite the game score, we still won this in the end
