The wost thing about this school is that there is a large portion of unmotivated students. Some students and locals equate GMU to a community college because many attendees are commuter-students that live locally. There are many students that lack vision, direction, and purpose and for them a degree is just a box to check. More communters also retract from a sense of school community on campus and it is always "dead" on weekends.

The size, sometimes you can feel lost.

The worst thing about the school is that there are a lot of students so parking close to buildings is hard to find. Of course when there's snow or when it's freezing outside the walk feels longer, but that would be my only complaint.

The worst thing about George Mason University is the terrain and lack of space. We are constantly expanding and admitting more students than our university can cater to effectively. When we went to the Final Four a couple of years back, enrollment boomed. The construction and crowded space on campus makes it a little less aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to be here.

I think the worst thing is that we do not have a football team so there is not as much school spirit as there could be because of this. The surrounding city around us is refusing to let us build a stadium which, in my opinion would truly help our school to grow and would cause more students to want to attend our university.

I think the worst thing about Mason is the "commuter school" reputation. The campus, although surrounded by a large suburban area, has the feel of a small town campus. Many high school students overlook George Mason for fear that they won't have a normal college experience. The number of people that actually go to Mason sometimes scares people. I have lived on campus for a year and a half and I can tell you that even though you see somebody new everyday, the friends you make on campus will always be around.

It is very hard to make friends as well as having a social life because at Mason you are so concerned with academics more than your social life. Mason is very diverse as well as very competetive with internships, scholarships and graduate jobs because there is a large number of us working on the same degree. For me it hard to put myself out there and show everyone the type of person that I am because I'm very shy and basically Mason is not in my comfront zone.

The worst thing about George Mason is probably the parking. You have to park very far away from the center of Campus and parking is always very hard to find, and you pay a lot for it.

Inconsideration for commuters. Very little parking and few events off campus.
