Georgia Tech Library

One great library. The selection of books is amazing.

Open 24 hours. One of the absolute best locations in all of Atlanta to study. Everything looks and feels brand new. It is extremely clean. Security guards on duty at all times.
Can’t beat it.
$ 3 wifi for guests. (Somehow it let me on free the 2^nd time using it)

Best place on campus to study! Open 24 hours during most of the week (even coffee), and you can even rent a laptop if you need one. Not a good place to go if you happen to be a TA (as students will want to ask you about grades, boy did I hate that).
Also the best place on campus to make out if you’re brave enough. Shhhhh!

The GT Library is generally awesome, especially since the renovation on the 1^st floor. Some things about the library that some people don’t know …
The Media Lab computers do actually have Internet access on them. You just have to find it — it’s hidden away so those of you who don’t need all those special Media Lab programs will stay off those computers.
The library has some really cool stuff in it. Like first, second, and third edition copies of Newton’s Principia, plus a lot of other REALLY old science texts. (I may be the only person who thinks this is cool.)
The Library Archives also contains one of the country’s largest science fiction archives, the Bud Foote Collection. It’s pretty sweet, and students can earn credit working in the collection. (

The first floor of this library is filled with… COMPUTERS! Who would have guessed that Georgia Tech’s first priority would be 2 extensive computer labs?!
If you are a student at Tech, you have access to all the computers. If you are a guest, there are two computers in the back of the East Commons area for you to use.
Don’t be afraid to use this library to study, it is opened during guest hours to any student registered at a Georgia university.
The second floor is opened to group study with large wooden tables under fluorescent lights.
The third floor is individual study with separate grey boring cubicles getting you ready for the «real working world».
Other than that, it’s a library, although I’ve never known someone to borrow a book from the Tech library… Tech students must not read.
I do love the open 24 hours during the week… except for on Fridays when the darn place kicks you out at 6pm! What if I really wanted to be an impressive overachiever and study on a Friday night?! Huh?! And what is up with them closing again on Saturday at 6pm?!
Do you know how hard Tech is!!!
Anyway, that’s my one pet peeve of this place, which it closes when I want to study. I think it’s their secret mission to make us be social and go out on Friday and Saturday night!
Little do they know, I have access to my major building so I can still study on a Friday night… haha!
