George Mason University Top Questions

Everyone is welcome and appreciated.

The diversity is definitely the best part of my school because I have learned more about other cultures this year then I learned from all of my academic classes. It has opened my eyes to people's situations in different parts of the world and made me more aware of the large world that we live in.

I love the student run organizations on campus. There are so many organizations that have been started and are entirely powered by students. This shows the dedication of the students to make a difference in the world around them. These are the types of people a young college student needs around them as they enter this season of life. These are the types of people who will make our country a better place to raise our children.

The best thing about George Mason are the variety of classes offered and great professors who teach. Also the campus is beautiful as well as the City of Fairfax-and it is only about 20 minutes to DC.

The people at GMU are great because they got out of their way to make you feel welcome.

The school has a very relaxed and calming atmosphere. It has a very nice, almost scenic, campus in the middle of a fairly large town, which is far away enough that you can't hear the town, but close enough that its only a bus ride away (free to students).

The large amount of school spirit. With all of the student body coming together to support the school's sports teams, it creates a sense of family and close bonds with friends.

The diversity, and friendliness of the people around. Also it's close from where I live.

I love the location. I want to work in politics one day and being 20 minutes from D.C. is just perfect. You don't get the busy traffic of living in the city, but you're still close enough to it to commute.

The Diversity factor and the ability to balance classes with a social schedule. The school is so organized you do not feel any pressure. The entire campus works as one unit. The professors and business offices along with students are on the same page. Communication is the key to this success I feel. George Mason is like living and a family community.
