    2015 Warmest Year on Record

    You guys are real delusional if you think basically all scientists are wrong and that humans aren't making the planet harder to live in. I wish I had the peace of mind about this that you do

    2015 Warmest Year on Record

    Here's the data showing the reduced SO2 and NO2 in the atmosphere - https://www.epa.gov/air-emissions-inventories/air-pollutant-emissions-trends-data It's still a problem, it's just not as big and not in the news cycle as much as straws are right now (which I hold to be a case of misdirected...

    Like if I showed you that same graph but didn't label it climate change, you'd say something happened at the end and it went way off course.

    2015 Warmest Year on Record

    So you're saying the sudden change that just happened to correspond with the industrial revolution is a coincidence? Also yeah I'm sure the earth had a bunch of ice ages and survived and life will continue on earth for a long time after we're gone. But I'm worried that we(humans) won't be able...

    We do have a mic man as of two or three seasons ago. He stands in front of swarm with a megaphone. Not sure how audible he really is though

    So... can we raise money like this????

    And as a last challenge to this stereotype, I'd like to point out that the article on FTRS "Applying the Stanford Model," which has a lot of discussion on this forum, was written by a student named Akshay Easwaran.

    So... can we raise money like this????

    I just went back and read it. Again, I see your point, but we're not going to bring uninterested students into the fold by generalizing them and referring to them all as "The Patels." And to answer your question, 10% of undergrads are international students. So it's not as high a number as you...

    I agree with your point, but I'm sure international students don't like being referred to as "The Patels"

    A good read.... yes, believe it or not, from the AJC (Link)

    If the standard should be the same for everyone, then the starting line should be the same for everyone. Unfortunately it is not

    Leading Candidate for Ga Tech President

    SGA or OIE or someone used to do events where the football team would teach international students the rules but that hasn't happened in 3/4 years now. Ramblin' Reck club says they want to bring more international students to games but doesn't actually do anything about it. I'm extremely for...

    So let's say we gratuate 95% of the students rn, so if we admit 100, we end up producing 95 engineers. If we lower our grad rate to 60% then we need to admit around 160 people to still produce 95 engineers. Isn't that making the capacity issue worse?

    Why are we assuming that lower grad rates equate to better engineers? Why are we assuming that classes aren't getting harder instead of assuming that the teaching is better, the students are smarter, and they are being provided with resources to excel. GT has not lost its reputation of...

    I dunno if any of you have been students recently but Tech is super crowded, especially CS (which I majored in). I wasn't in a single CS class that had fewer than 50 students (and there was only one class that was that size). Even 3 and 4 thousand level classes had 100-150 students and filled...

    There's aren't many engineering programs of a similar quality in the country. I think it's unfair to expect one state to have multiple public universities of this level available
