Fall break is rapidly approaching, and while some students will be heading home for the four-day break, many will be staying on campus. Since Georgia Tech is in the epicenter of Midtown Atlanta, there is always something to do just a few miles away.
Make Testing Part of Your Packing Plans
With fall break happening Oct. 11-12, students should plan to test this week in order to get their results before leaving campus for the long weekend. Even those staying on campus should test, knowing they might participate in extra social activities during the break.
