Teachers can be hit or miss. It depends. Some read right from powerpoints, others dive right into things and are open and honest with you and there to help. Some of the classes are not relevant or teach things you were taught earlier, however for the most part, I have learned a lot. Pray you don't get an online course though as those are just the content dumped on the server and you basically teach yourself. I only got one, and thay class was supposed to be in class but was changed due to teacher changes.

As a past student, Georgian isn't what it used to be. Many cutbacks. There is less available for students than there was in 2010 when I was last here. Still, the facilities are great, and the quality of life has been improved for student tech access, although it can be confusing to figure out the websites at first.
