Help is not as easily accessable as you think, and especially Less at Tech. I'm comparing my experiences at Tech and at other schools.
Yes, the help is there, but no one really knows about it.
And I'm not talking about coddling students, but teaching them real life skills so they can survive... there needs to be a first quarter freshman class that addresses all these isseus. At Georgia State it is called GSU 1010, and it does a world of good!
I respect your opinion, though... Tech is not like the average school, and it is tough to survive. i just think Tech needs to remember that they may have the best and brightest, but they are still only 18 years old or so when they start. The success rate could improve *without coddling* if there was a class that simply helped students know what is available to them and teaches life skills.
