People I know that went studying go to Asia had output from their teachers likely worse than you get from the program given the language barrier and general approach. It was about playing games with strong players (playing different styles, which I admit may teach a bit more than Alpha) and having teacher to point you which of your moves were bad and what to do instead (and that's it, only seeing some sequences and hearing "good", "bad"). Because knowing how and when you lost the game is huge. And doing shitloads of go problems of course.

That said, it still may be worth having a teacher/trainer I guess. To motivate you, give you that dopamine in person and all that jazz.

I would say it's more like learning to code yourself rather than at the university than learning assembly from gcc.
