"I choose GTL in order to have an American degree much more acknowledged worldwide than my French degree of Supélec, in order to envision more easily an international career. Studies in America are very expensive, but with GTL you can do 2 semesters in France and the 3rd in the US, thus the American degree is more affordable.
It helps to open to the American culture, and experience the American campus lifestyle (big, with lots of sport facilities, and quite a variety of courses in Atlanta). It also greatly impacted the job offers afterwards.
I appreciated the important link with the various industries, French or American. Without GTL, I wouldn't have been invited by EADS to the ILA Berlin Air show, neither by Schlumberger to an all-day long insight of the industry. And each time there are internships/job possibilities. For instance, I accepted an internship offer that was sent to GTL students, and now, I am going to work for Schlumberger!"
