What's the most frustrating thing about George Mason University?

Jennifer

The administration is not very helpful. They are slow at processing requests. And, if you want information clarified after having seen it on a school website, you won't have much luck, as all of the administrative staff just repeat whatever information is found on the websites without elaborating.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there isn't any. The school has flaws but it has qualitiees that make up for it. An example being limited space in class rooms but teachers do all they can for a student to still attend the class even if it is inconveinient for them.

The most frustrating thing at this school would have to be prices on food items and parking. Finding a parking space at this school is difficult not to mention the price to even park here.

Parking is fustrating! For freshman students attending George Mason University, parking is either one of two options: far away or extremely expensive. Even for commuters, parking is still costly. Sophomores and graduate students are able to obtain parking passes at a fair distance from the center of campus at a good price. However, during normal business hours, it is a real fight in order to even find a spot in the majority of the parking lots located on campus. If you park in the lots located off campus, shuttles are un-timely and don’t really operate on weekends.

Carlene

Parkin is the most frustrating at this time.

Hannah

The most frustrating thing about George Mason University is the library and research facilities on hand for students. The systems are slow acting and out of date with modern technology. As well as the library setup on campus, with books being scattered among different libraries with no real organization techniques applied.

Maria

It can be a long walk from your car to the classroom and parking services does not hesitate to give parking tickets.

Parking is horrible at GMU. Parking permits do not guarantee parking. With the Patriot Center and constant venues being held there , such as concerts, basketball games, circus, and Disney on Ice, parking is even more crazy. Parking is very bad at night as well. GMU seems to be excessively spending to build up its reputation as the "Number One School in the Nation to Watch". They recently added a new parking deck, engineering building, art building, and renovated a sports complex. In addition, GMU has plans of building a conference center and hotel on site.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the food. I wish there were more healthy foods to choose from. Other than that, I love George Mason!
