George Mason University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at George Mason University accurate?

Derek

Not true at all. Everyone at Mason is cool. The girls have integrity and are smart and fun to be around. It's a diverse campus.

Harper

No, Mason knows how to party. Just because people don't stay on campus, doesn't mean the party isn't happening at a frat house or in a local bar.

Madison

These aren't stereotypes. These are scientific facts.

Ryan

I think the percentage is probably 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} democrat and 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} republican (excluding independents, etc)

Jennifer

Yes, the school is very diverse, and that is an advantage! I would say GMU has no preppy kids than any other college.

Lorie

Essentially, yes. They are right on target.

Bob

It is kind of a commuter college. I think they're trying to get away from that. It's pretty diverse, but I don't know what colleges to compare it too?

Abby

Yes, I would say that based on the facts this school is both diverse and very much a "commuter" environment.

Ryan

I believe the stereotype that GMU is a commuter school is accurate. However, I don't think it should have the negative connotation that everyone gives it. It really isn't a bad thing in all circumstances.

Emma

This used to be the case but since they have built the new student apartments and dorms there are a lot more people on campus at all times, not just during school hours.
