1.Having you as a teacher has been a pleasure

and

2.It's been a pleasure to have you as a teacher.
3.It's been a pleasure having you as a teacher.

(1) I think that some "experts" feel that the gerund is more

emotional and immediate than the infinitive.

(a) That is, perhaps "It was nice to see you again" is

a bit "colder" and "remote" than:

"It was really nice seeing you again!!!"
