I am a current OMSCS student.

Your situation is anecdotal at best. You are critiquing an in person experience to an online experience.

GT goes out of its way to say that the online experience and physical experience offer the same degree, is it not fair to compare them?

Same degree != same experience. Just like the same course within the same institution can offer different experience depending on the instructor.

Isn't that the norm as you continue along the education path?

E.g. someone who did a PhD with one advisor vs another

Perhaps this is the rare place where a more impersonal interaction helps avoid some of the negatives outlined above.

Anecdotally I've felt all of the professors are eminently interested in interacting with MS students online.
