The 10 Prettiest Spots on Campus

Tech is renowned for its beautiful campus. The juxtaposition of the city with so much green space leads to attractive views no matter where you walk. Here’s a list of the top 10 prettiest spots on campus:

10. Tech Square

Tech’s iconic square is right in the middle of the city, yet still offers a bit of green space to study or relax in.

9. The Mickey Mouse Garden

Hidden next to Skiles, the Mickey Mouse Garden is a peaceful respite just steps away from one of the busiest spots on campus. Whether you go to see the leaves turn in the fall or the buds blossom in the spring, you’re guaranteed an amazing sight.

8. The Top Floor of the CRC

The CRC is a great place to get in shape and offers a delightful view. If you can make it to the top floor, you can run, bike, row, and lift, all the while overlooking downtown. If you work out at night, you can even get a view of the Ferris Wheel in Centennial Park changing colors.

7. The Campanile

One of the most popular and well-known spots on campus, the Campanile has some of the best views that Tech has to offer. Not to mention, the water is a perfect place to cool off in the hot summer time!

6. Klaus

One of the busiest areas on campus is also one of the prettiest! The glass of Klaus and the symmetry of its garden make it gorgeous - especially as the leaves turn color in the fall.

5. The BioTech Quad

This quiet corner of campus is a great place to sit back and get some studying done. The trees and glassy, industrial buildings make this a beautiful spot to sit or walk around in.

4. The Top of the Ford Building

If you’re lucky you’ve been able to climb to the roof of the Ford building to see one of best views of Atlanta. You can see the entire city from this lofty perch, and it is especially gorgeous lit up at night

3. The Football Stadium

The Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grand Field is, in my opinion, one of the coolest stadiums in college football. Where else can you catch a game of football, celebrate Tech’s rich history of traditions, and get a beautiful view of the skyline?

2. Tech Tower

This view is worth the walk. Whether it’s in the middle of summer or the depths of winter, Tech Tower’s sweeping trees, green lawns, view of the skyline, and historic brick buildings make for beautiful views.

1. The Culc Rooftop Garden

The best place to catch a view of Tech’s campus and the Atlanta skyline is, of course, the rooftop garden. It’s the perfect place to sip on your Starbucks, study, or kick back and relax. During the day, night, or even at sunset, this view is hard to beat.

Happy exploring!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
