George Mason University Top Questions

Self-focused and not to terribly interested in their classmates.

Not the brightest apples on the tree, but generally very friendly. A couple of real characters can be found on campus; inevitably (assuming you live on campus at least a semester) you'll make some remarkable acquaintances. I only wish everyone was smarter, more passionate.

Many of my classmates were very polite and willing to learn.

Classmates here at George Mason University are the most sincere, caring and helpful people in the world.

The students do not seem to be very engaged in each other or the teacher for that matter. Most class time is usually spent texting on phones because the lectures are extremely boring or are to difficult to understand.

They are usually focused and active in their work.

my classmates are friendly but focused.

Fun and interesting.

My classmates are unbelievably friendly. I have never had a class where someone did not say hi to me on the first day. Everyone like to have discussions about what we learn in class and everyone gets together and studies outside of class. There is always someone willing to help is you ever feel like your falling behind.

Most of my classmates are focused and know where they are going.

George Mason is widely recognized for being one of the most diverse student populations, and this fact is more than a statist. GMU host nearly every variation of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and nationality. There are frat boys, sorority chicks, artsy kids, political activists, jocks, and nerds. As on any college campus for first year students, it may take a while to adjust and find students with whom you "click", but with a variety of student groups on campus, it should not be difficult to find fellow students with common interests.

The student body is pretty respectful to each other. There are so many different kinds of people at Mason that it's hard not to be able to find where you belong.

GMU is so diverse, that I don't think anyone could possible feel out of place. There is a student club for just about every interest, and if it's not yet been formed, it is fairly easy to form one. This may sound like students segregate themselves by interest, culture, or class, but that's not entirely true. Most of the clubs work together to host events, and are encouraged by student activities to do so. A majority of the students are in-state, but people come from all over the world to attend Mason.

Two words: very diverse. I think having a diverse campus is better for the intellectual environment. With diversity comes many different opinions and ideas. No one would or should feel out of place here. Students come from all over the world, but a lot of them also come from VA and the surrounding cities around Mason.

Most students are either high school rejects thinking they are cool because they goto a school where no one wants to go, or the students don't speak english.

GMU is very diverse. There are tons of different languages being spoken in Ciao Hall every day. Everyone is accepting of the diversity. Honestly, you can't be unaccepting because the diversity is everywhere!

Like I said before, there is no "typical" student at George Mason University. We have Democrats and Republicans, activists and pacifists, those that pay their own way and those who have some help from their parents. The general atmostphere of campus is fairly calm, but open things to a controversial subject and no one will hesitate to speak their mind. Students here understand what a college education can do for them and, for the most part, are excited to do what it takes to get that degree!

GMU is a very diverse campus so nobody should feel out of place. We have people from all races, religions, economic class, and many LGBT students. When it comes to politics, however, people are defintily apathetic and the average students seems to be either moderate or towards the left.

Eben though i feel the students here are really connected I also feel like they could stop the cliques somewho. I also want them to increase student feedback more, all students in this campus have a lot to say.

My experiences with social racial groups on campus have been very positive and I have seen many people not from the particular race of the club come to events and participate. Most students wear jeans t-shirts and GMU clothes to class. Once in a while I see people dressed up. There are various financial backgrounds, most of the people I have met are middle or lower-middle class. Most students are from around the area but there are a lot of out of state people. Different types of students do interact, but it is a little bit like high school where people tend to stick with people similar to themselves.
