Georgia was designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft back in 1993. It was made to be legible when printed at small sizes or on a low-res screen (like the kind used in the early 1990s). It’s a transitional serif, so it’s a bit like Caslon (and Times), but with a larger x-height, more open forms, and more obvious features. Again, it was made for low-res screens, so the bold is especially bold.
Georgia is a good multi-tool font that you can use for longer documents and academic titles.

My favourite font when it comes to writing seriously. Too bad they don’t leave us use it for our thesis.
Talk to your professor or adviser. I talked to mine in college and used Garamond for many of my papers.
