Georgia Tech had been highly recommended to me. During the application process Dr. Wepfer was very active in inviting me out and offering scholarship support, so it seemed that Georgia Tech was a school that wanted me. The students that I met with while interviewing all loved the atmosphere, and I was impressed with the faculty.

My graduate experience taught me the fundamentals that I use every day in my work. The friendly, positive atmosphere encouraged me to get to know other students and expand my horizons, something that has benefited me tremendously now that I am a university professor. The Woodruff School had challenging classes taught by excellent teachers that really expand the skills and understanding of the student and a friendly, positive environment that encourages collaboration. Also, Dr. Jeff Donnell's "Little Red Schoolhouse" class changed my life!

I would rate the program as a 9 out 10, the faculty as a 10 out of 10 (with a few 5/10's mixed into the bunch), the students as a 9 out of 10 and the facilities as a 9 out of 10.
