The University of Georgia (UG) — Attraction in Tbilisi

If I could give -5 stars I would have given. To start off their greed is above me. There is little to no consideration concerning international students. Their only concern is their money meanwhile education wise it is poor. I mean this institute is poorly organized. How can we pay soo much yet gain so little?

Another big issue is that the school is very disorganized. When it comes to simple registration you have to register your subjects within 30mins of that day it opens and if you are lucky you will be able to and for many they may never be able to register all courses concerning that semester because study office absolutely have no sense of direction. Even when regsitering, the ug site literally malfunctions because lots of students are trying to register their courses at the same time. How do you take on what you cannot carry? How can groups be full when i paid my full fees? It seems that no one knows what to do in that school when a student comes with an issue. How can that be? It's quite dreadful to be honest. Everyone takes you on a merry-go-round but they can never actually solve your issue. From study office to IT, from IT to head of department. From head of department back to study office again.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here unless you are alright with the system that will fail you. I feel there needs to be a revaluation of what you stand for as an institution before students...

Horrible administration staff for International students. A lady by the name of MARIAM who works in the international student department is very rude and does not conduct her job properly for international students. Maybe she doesn’t like foreigners much?? I came with a student and his father and she didn’t even smile or ask to assist she acted strange and rude. Besides this when I call and ask for her with relation to student help during University hours she’s usually not in University doing her work I don’t know how much more worse this universities service for international students can get. She has a horrible attitude as if we are some type of aliens and treats us weirdly or with no respect. I think it’s time they realize that it’s the students tuition fees that makes their salary so it’s about time they drop their ego and attitude and start paying attention to students properly. If we individually complain about UG’s staff we get no help but if we all complain together we will make a difference and have only kind and respectful people working there. Especially with “Nigerian” students, Arabic and Indian, don’t think of coming here unless you like the racism of this place. Many Georgians love this University but if you’re a foreigner I suggest an institute that will not tarnish your standards or judge your ethnicity. Change your attitude UG staff, do your job because working in a University is...

I visited the University of Georgia in Tbilisi recently and was genuinely impressed by its modern campus, clean facilities, and welcoming environment. The university offers a wide range of programs in English, making it attractive for international students like myself. Academically, many students praise the quality of the professors and the learning experience overall.

However, there are some real concerns worth noting. A number of international students have reported repeated problems with student visa approvals and residency permits. Some even claim that the university may be blacklisted or under scrutiny due to political tensions. This has caused delays and stress for students trying to legally stay and study in the country.

Additionally, the administrative support—especially for foreign students—can be hit-or-miss. Several people mentioned that the front office staff are not always responsive or helpful when it comes to urgent matters like immigration paperwork.

That said, the university is still growing and seems committed to improving. I'd recommend it, but with caution: make sure to sort out your visa before arriving, and stay in touch with student forums for updates. If you're okay navigating some bureaucracy, UG can be a solid choice for higher...
