Studying English in Barrie is great! I get to practice speaking English in class and outside of class and the people at Georgian are very friendly. I have learned many things in the English for Academic Purposes program. I have learned a lot about presentation skills and have lots of chances to practice my speaking. Now I feel confident speaking in front of the class. The teachers are extremely helpful and are willing to take time with me so that I know the right answers Georgian College also has a great International Centre for international students.
