What kind of person should attend George Mason University?

Andrew

A person that likes to participate in interesting activities and is looking to work in Washington D.C. would probably attend George Mason University.

Maria

This school has room for everybody. There are tons of events, clubs, and academic programs to choose from. There is also school-provided transportation to DC where there is even more to do! This is a great area because those who like to be in a city are close to DC and those who like a more rural or suburban area have Fairfax County where the school is located.

Amdrew

This school is very diverse so anyone should attend this school. George Mason University is also famous for its Economic programs because two former alumnies have previously won the Nobal Peace Prize, making it the only university in history to have alumnis to hold this honor.

Rebecca

I think that anyone should be able to attend this school and be successful. It's also a great place for students who may need access to government buildings, museums, various types of retail stores for school supplies (art supply stores, hardware stores, electronics stores, etc.)

George Mason has students from almost every ethnic background you can imagine. There are lots of different clubs and activities you can join and the university is about 40 minutes from Washington D.C. Just about anybody can come to Mason and find something they like about it. If your not used to cold weather than the winter can take some getting used to, but other than that anyone can attend mason and find something they like. Mason has a very welcoming atmosphere and its full of diversity and you will find people from all walks of life at Mason.

Jayme

George Mason is an extremely diverse school. Students who are outgoing and interested in meeting people from other countries should definately attend this school. Students who adjust well to a fast pace enviroment will also enjoy this college.

Lauretta

George Mason University is a great school for any student who likes large schools and knows that there is a specific program of study for the career path that they are seeking. As an undeclared student who wants to be a doctor at a school where there is no pre-medical program, I have not gotten the feeling that what I want to do is attainable. If I do not start to feel more like I am being taken care of within the next few months, I will seriously consider transferring to a school with a pre-medical program.

Claudia

Focused, studious people who know what they want and will work hard to get there. People who can say no distractions and will only take yes for an answer.

A person that is open minded to others. Ready to learn and take a journey like never before. Someone who is okay with listening to others views and participating in their heritage activites. You must be understanding to the different cultures people bring, and the different ways people dress.

Someone who is very open to diversity and also career-motivated. A person who doesn't mind putting in quality work for a good grade. Someone who loves trees.

Gayle

I think Mason encourages students of various backgrounds, cultures, beliefs , and goals. Because of this, Mason is a growing experience and is perfect for almost any kind of student- but most specifically those looking for growth and new experiences while attaining a diverse education.

Mary

Someone who is looking for diversity and is comfortable with the the campus. If you are unsure of what you want to be when you "grow up" this is a good place to come and dabble because it offers classes in just about everything.

Matthew

A person attending GMU as an undergraduate should wish to study business, economics, criminal justice, policitical science, or english. If they are low on money but too intelligent for a community college, GMU offers great value for the education it delivers. The person must be outgoing and have initiative to take advantage of all GMU has to offer. Otherwise they will be bored and friendless. Its proximity to Washington, DC, Greek life, volunteer opportunities, ROTC program, student groups based on religion, major, or interests all offer a plethora of opportunities.

Maria

Someone who likes being near a city but not right in the middle of it. This school is good for people who value diversity and who enjoy a variety of different activities, clubs, classes, views, and other aspects of life. This school is good for those who like to party but also for those who don't. It is academically challenging but school does not take over your life here. It's a great school.

Hugh

This is a school for anyone that wants a diverse wellrounded education. Someone with a good work ethic and excited about making themselves better will benifit in innumerous ways. A person with open-mind about the world and learning from others will have a special experience.

Leah

The kind of person who should attend this school is someone who is dedicated to their studies and wants to succeed and learn from a college experience. This person should be open minded and be willing to be in a place that is very diverse. GMU is a great place to meet people!

Bethany

Mason has excellent undergraduate and graduate programs. The mojority of students, however, are ages 17-26, and come from all over the United States and the world. We have one of the most diverse campuses with one of the largest Muslim populations in the U.S. There are several English, Science, Business, Government, and Arts majors. People who go to Mason enjoy being involved in campus activites, being social, and are people who are dedicated to learning. While many students still commute to Mason, the school is making progress to end this reputation and change the housing recquirements for freshmen.
