Founded in 1885 as the Georgia School of Technology, the now called Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the finest institutions in all of Atlanta. It is at Georgia Tech where you will find all of the high school Valedictorians and really smart international students (Asians) studying to become engineers — when they’re not playing World of Warcraft or Dungeons & Dragons, of course.
More fun Georgia Tech facts:
— It has been ranked as the “smartest” public college in America.
— The campus was the official athlete village of the 1996 Olympic Games.
— It sits on the land where the surrender of Atlanta took place in the Civil War.
