George Mason University Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Tyler

Our diversity and equality are George Mason’s best known qualities. Name a nationality, and most of the time, you will find someone of that nationality attending the university. There is no noticeable predominance of one specific race or color. This quality promotes the concept of being an individual and not merely a part of a larger group of similar people. More so, George Mason’s community is equal and accepting. Racism and dominance of one culture is not present within the grounds of George Mason’s campus. It is a refreshing feeling, and creates a positive environment.

Up until recently, it was known for its Cinderella-esque Final Four run by the Men's Basketball team, but now it's just as well-known for being the #1 School to Watch as ranked by U.S. News.

Mason is best known for it's Cinderlla Story basketball team. In 2006 the once commuter school advanced into the NCAA Men's basketball tournament's Final Four, giving the school national coverage. Even though the basketball team put George Mason on the map mason should be recognized for it's student body. Mason is one of the most diverse college campuses in the nation. As a student there I find that to be it's most intriguing aspect. Many Universities say they are diverse but Mason actually is. Here you can meet just about anyone.
