What kind of person should attend George Mason University?

Barbara

GMU has a wide variety of classes to suit any kind of person.

Morgan

I think that George Mason Univeristy is for the type of student who enjoys learning as well as making lasting friendships. Mason is not for the student who loves to go and party every night, but instead for the student who enjoys meeting new people everyday while continuing their education. Mason is one of the most ethnically, politically, and religiously diverse universities Virginia has to offer and a person who finds themselves wanting to explore all those aspects will find themselves most welcome at George Mason.

Raven

A person who is very tolerant of people that are different than they are, someone who would enjoy learning about different places, people, and cultures. A person who likes a tight community that does it without being closed off from the rest of the community. GMU is a place where innovation is tradition, where change is constantly happening. I honestly feel like George Mason is for anyone who wants to get the most out of their learning (and not just in the classroom).

Mayo

Students who don't want the typical party school, it is a more conservative school so parties are not around every corner, but simply getting involved on campus will give you the heads up to the parties. So, it allows a perfect blend of students who are academic but wouldn't mind to party every once in a while. The cultural diversity is huge, but everyone is friendly. It has been a unique experiance from my perspective and I have learned a lot about different countries simply by talking with other students.

Jennifer

A low achiever who lives in Virginia. This school is way over-priced for out of state students, and the coursework is definitely not on a college level.

Patricia

Someone that does not mind a big school and is willing to get involved. It can feel very lonely if you do not want a job, to be in Greek life, or a sport. If you are used to big school it will most likely be a good fit, if you are from a small school like me, be prepared for a change.

christie

Someone who likes grass and trees should go to Mason.

atiya

A person who is sure of what they want should attend this college. Since is is a community college and the highest degree on can recieve is an associates. There are alot of prefessional courses that help people achieve a certificate for a profession.

Sophia

George Mason is teeming with a variety of people so it's hard to pinpoint what "type" of person should attend Mason. From what i've seen theres a huge variety of clubs, groups, and meetings that one can attend. One of the best things about Mason is meeting people who aren't alike because it broadens your view of the world.

Christine

Motivated and career driven, an individual that appreciates diversity, someone who is more concerned with academics rather than the ideal college experience
