George Mason University Top Questions

George Mason University is a wonderful place. If you want to go to a school where you can learn about yourself through learning about others and can freely express who you are without holding back, Mason is the place for you. Students at Mason matter. You won't be just a number here.

School needs a greek row, to get rid of all the unnessisary police, not give out so many parking tickets when there isn't even enough parking spots on campus, and let loose. Housing sucks and is expensive too.

George Mason University has been my home for the past three years. I have felt comfortable, excited, and challenged all at the same time. George Mason University is a place that students come to grow and take advantage of the millions of opportunities available to them in the world. When people come to visit our campus, the Admissions Office and the Mason Ambassadors (tour guides) tell people "If you want to go to a university with people that look like you, talk like you, and think like you, then George Mason University is not the place for you." And I agree. You will meet new people every day, and they will fascinate you. George Mason University is an exciting place to be every day of the year!

It's an overall good school as long as you dont want to party every single night and basically drop out. Students just need to be more willing to participate in making this campus better.

Overall, i'm really glad I go to GMU and i've only been here for one year. If you want a school with progressive ideas, a student body with unique individuals of different backgrounds, and an area with many possibilities as far as night-life and job opportunities, then GMU is the school for you.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! I have made my best friends here. people I KNOW I will keep in touch with my whole life.

PARKING SUCKS. COUNSELING-- ok so this is one of my friends experience with counselrs at gmu...He had madatory lab experiments for one of his classes, but he also had mandatory attendance in another class. So his one teacher told him, well you have to make a decision, either dont come to my class or dont go to your experiment. So he went to his counselor for some help and her answer to him was, um i dont even know what your talking about. ive never heard of those. That was all she said, she wouldnt help longer than that. Her repley was then that she guessed that he should appeal to the dean. Ok so appealing to the dean took longer than the entire summer semester. Yeah so counseling i would give about a D. just fyi. COPS-- one word...PSYCHO. yeah they are crazy. one cop a girl i knew a ticket for her tire being on the line then came back an hour later and gave her a second cause she hadnt moved her car...SHE WAS STILL IN CLASS. She appealed it and got it taken away but thats the thing, everyone has to go through the appeal process to get ridiculously insane tickets taken away. yeah i dont know about anyone else but in my opinion thats just stupid. Mason needs to get a hold of the cops. again just an fyi for commuter students. and one more time for the commuter students...parking suuuuuuuuuuuckssssss, oh yeah and mason doesnt care that it sucks, at all.

none

Parking at George Mason is awful!!! You will pay $180 a year for a parking pass and still have to struggle to find parking, especially now with all of the construction going on around campus. Parking Services is also ruthless. They are extremely quick to give tickets...if they say you have 20 minutes to park in a spot...you really only have 19. BE CAREFUL!

Men's basketball is the only big thing we have on campus compared to other sports. We do have a football team, but it's only a club team (oddly enough, it's the only other sport on campus to pull in at least 1000 fans). I'm more of a football fan and the fact that the school does not want to sponsor an NCAA sanction team is a disappointment. If you want to come to mason and don't mind a club football team, that's great. But if you are a hardcore football fan, a club team might not suit you too well.
