Of all the buildings he passed on trips as a child from his hometown of Canton, Georgia, to Atlanta, Andrew Solano frequently found himself drawn toward Georgia Tech’s iconic North Avenue Apartments.

“I remember telling myself that if I could make it here, despite everything life had thrown at me, I could prove that people like me could excel,” said Solano, now a second-year international affairs student at Tech. “I knew that the people who had gone here have been successful, and I wanted that for myself.”
