The great people I meet and study with. How conneced you feel with your community. For me it is the support and comraderie I get from the Catholic Campus Ministry Community and the Synchronized swimming Club Sport Team. I am not forced into uncomfortable situations because I have a whole group of friends that support who I am.

George Mason University is one of the best universities in Virginia. Our campus is so diverse and the faculty are wonderful. There are tons of activities and events that are held throughout the year for students to get together and show their Patriots Pride. We have a wonderful basketball team that represents Mason to the fullest. We have tons of exciting concerts at the Patriot Center year-round and many, many student organizations to keep you from boredom. Mason also offers a big assortment of curriculum to choose from and the student advisers are great and encouraging to all students.

I always brag about the proximity to Washington D.C. and how helpful Mason is about job placement and how it really makes internships possible with free transportation to metro stations. My major is impossible to get a job without some kind of prior experienc and in later years of college Mason schedules credit hours for me to get an internship.

Molly

Honestly, the amount of free stuff you can get. From food, to movies, to free t-shirts there are tons of opportunities to get something for free. This is very important to college students because we have no money to spend. You never need to buy a shirt from the bookstore because I guarantee you will get at least three free ones in your first semester alone.

Ruben

That there is a lot of work to do and that it has been consuming all my time lately.

Abdullah

George Mason has great proffessors who are very exceptionally friendly and ready to help students upon request. The professors actually teach classes with enthusiasm (most of which love to teach) and for the most part are pretty good at what they do. What I love most about Mason is their Computer Science department. Mason has a small but growing robotics lab that has plenty of opportunities. The best trait that mason offers is it's diverse background. On campus one can meet people from anywhere, no one is particularly boring and everyone has a story to tell.

When I talk to my friends I brag about the fact that my school is located close to the capital and it allows me to explore the D.C. area. The fact that it is located in the middle of everywhere also makes me happy, because I can just take the bus, which is free for George Mason Students and it takes us to the metro, which is unexpensive and we can go all the way to Maryland and D.C. in less than 40 minutes and explore a variety of places, people and food.

We have a game design degree! I also like that while the campus has a large amount of students, the buildings are close together so it's rare for students to arrive late due to having to walk a long way. I love the community here: anyone can find some sort of group or place to socialize within the students here.

Matthew

When I tell my friends about George Mason, the things I brag about most are its closeness to Washington D.C. and how good the dorms are. I love being so close to D.C. Our nation's capitol is full of life and things to do. There is also plenty of causes and community groups in D.C. that George Mason students can get involved in. Another great thing about George Mason is the living conditions. I'm a freshman with a room twice the size of most other school's freshman dorms and my own bathroom.

I tell them how great it is to be attending such an esteemed university as a Game Design major. I am overjoyed to see that East coast schools are developing game programs.
