    Of course its possible. There's information specifically for Georgia Tech here and for the visa you would require (F-1) here.

    Georgia Tech is a great school for engineering/technology, and arguably in the top 10/top 15 public universities in the US. I'd imagine it would be an interesting place to spend a semester - if you get the choice try and go during college football season, they take their football pretty seriously in the south!

    Workload could be pretty heavy, depending on what courses you end up taking...

    Do it!

    Tech is ranked inside the top 3 for some disciplines. Great school.

    Plenty of Atlanta threads on here and in USA Travel. Search for my name and you'll see where I posted previously.
