George Mason University Top Questions

What is unique about George Mason University compared to other schools I considered are a lot of factors. First, the location of the main campus in Fairfax, VA is geographically very balanced. It is ideal for looking for internships, jobs and networking opportunites because you can take the Metro to D.C. Also Mason has numerous opportunities for undergraduate studies and research. B But most of all, the diversity on campus is amazing. It is so nice to walk on campus everyday and see that the student body population consists of many cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

My school is unique because of the amount of diversity on campus. With people from all over the country and even the world, the experiences and learning abilities are endless.

It is twenty miles from the nation's capital, which makes for a fun time. Also, all of the people here are extremely nice and helpful.

Compared to other schools, George Mason University gives students the ability to make their own academic decisions as well as political decisions. Just because the authorities belong to a particular political affiliation does not mean all students should tend to belong there. I have seen places where the authorities try to impose such decisions on students and go as far as inviting people who share the same political views to speak at their school gatherings. George Mason University tends to be very distinctive in that respect, and the ability to make their own decisions is what most students need.

You'll pay more for a parking pass here than any other school in Virginia.

George Mason is strictly a commuter campus with most of its students wrking full time while taking upper part time to full time course loads.

It's such a massive campus, and sitting near Fairfax and DC, there's always something to do. There should be no excuse to not having a social life outside of school.

George mason university is best for any students who are considering any major apart from health and sciences. It is because I found many students, which have liberal arts as their concentration, peacefully and smoothly completing their course plans. Moreover, these students have access to 2x more opportunities as the science major counterparts. If and only if the university had any sciences' schools - for example: dental schools, etc- i would be the first person to not to think about transfering to other institutions. The reason i am saying that is because the univesity is very well-organised in almost everything.

It's diversity is unparalleled; you hear at least two different languages being spoken every time you step out of your dormitory. You never feel alone in your own bubble. You'll always have counterparts who share the same interests and goals as you do or make you approach something in a diverse way. George Mason University is truly "where innovation is tradition."

I love that GMU is so close to Washington, DC, yet still has a normal campus. I love living in a city and always having something to do and somewhere to go. Also, if you put forth an effort, Mason has great opportunities to get involved with research and has many great professors and graduate students who teach undergraduate courses that are always willing to help students.

Being so close to DC but still so affordable is a major reason to decide to go to GMU.

It gives so much more than I ever expected.

I thought that this school would have much more to offer with its close proximity to Washington D.C. but this school is only here to make the most money and give the lowest education possible.

What is unique about my school is how diverse it is. There are so many kinds of people that anyone and everyone is welcomed to the campus. The school is very welcoming to different cultures and ways of life and really tries to embrace that. I believe it is on of the top if not the most diverse school in America.

The biggest thing that Mason has is it's diversity. There are so many people from so many different places. It's hard NOT to fit in.

I believe its transformation from a very small university to the largest in Virginia makes Mason different. As a child, I watched Mason transition from a couple of small buildings to multiple, large buildings and entertainment centers, a movie theater, and multiple food establishments all on campus.

It offers both a BFA in Game Design and a BS in Applied Comupter Science with a concentration in Game Design. It is close enough to my home that I don't have to reside on campus, but it is far enough away from home that staying on campus makes sense. I liked that the campus is compact with instructional buildings in the center of campus and housing was on the perimeter of campus. A car is not needed. There are shuttles to connect you to local shopping centers and regional transit system.

The most unique thing about George Mason University is that it is full of all types of diversity, whether it is racial, ethnic, or social. There is a huge population of international students including those from Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, and China. There is also an active community of individuals at George Mason with all types of disabilities, whether it is a learning or physical disability. The religious beliefs present on campus are also very diverse, including Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, and Agnosticism, to name a few. Thus, if one is looking for diversity, George Mason is the place to be.

George Mason University gives the students a better chance for opportunities because it's so close to the Washington D.C. area. The level of jobs and internships is higher as well.

I love that the school is located so close to the Nation's Capital.

The campus is beautiful and there seem to be a lot of great cultural and sporting events happening all the time as well.
