Here at George Mason University a.k.a GMU or Mason, classes are small and the professors are shockingly always available to answer questions by email or in person. Lecture halls are usually semi-big but then they are divided into Labs where you are able to get one on one assistance with your instructors. I learned so much within my first semester there and was well prepared entering my second semester. My professors were compromising and taught me new ways to study, write papers and do presentations. My strengths were brought out and my so called weaknesses are no longer categorized as...

    George Mason University's main focus is on both academics and student life for those living on-campus. GMU strives to help students achieve and pushes for nothing less than excellence. While the university is filled with plenty of student organizations that help keep the campus active and entertaining. However, GMU lacks in dining quality with poor food quality.

    I visited the campus and it is amazing! Helpful tour guides and a really knowledgeable admissions staff along with their variety and proximity to DC helped to make this school my number one choice.

    George Mason is a suburban school situated in Fairfax,Virginia, a suburb outside of Washington D.C. It is a middle sized school with 32,500 students. The school is largely a commuter school, but it is trying to get away from this label.

    George Mason is a colorful school with variety of talented students. This school provides a mass amount of opportunities on the campus and off involving your education and beyond. Watch out for the construction though, haha. (You get used to it)

    Faculty and staff are reasonable and make every effort to engage students. Class schedules are accomodating to the working professional. Departments send out notices daily to make students aware of opportunities.

  • Mar-20-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    I have been to George Mason multiple times since deciding I would like to enroll here next August, and the Mason Staff has been nothing but kind to me. The admissions board has always responded to me promptly and been more than willing to accept any and every problem I've thrown at them. I can't wait to come next fall and become a part of the Mason Nation.

    George Mason has a beautiful Multicultural campus, with lots of Greek life and fun for those who choose not to participate in those type of events. There is a numerous amount of work opportunities on campus. along with activities and recreational events, there is a tremendous amount of support here such as Tudors etc.
