George Mason University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about George Mason is the fact that there are sometimes problems with the systems in the dorms that are not quickly fixed, for example it took nearly a month to get the hot water fixed in my dorm.

Sometimes it is really difficult to get in touch with my academic advisor because she is a graduate student as well as a "professor." Also, it's hard at times to find good food so I sometimes, if I feel like it, eat outside of campus. Finally, professors may make last minute changes to their office hours or even cancel them due to an emergency which is hard on the students to gain access personally for help.

no school spirit

I come from a single parent home and I have three brothers, one of which whom is also in college. With that being said my mother really doesnt have the means to assist me with my education. Mason goes up on the tuition every year and I've been having to find a way to pay some of my tuition out of pocket. Not having the money to do so results in me having to use credit cards to pay it off. My financial situation hasn't changed so i'm not sure how they expect me to pay.

A lot of construction and somewhat limited parking spaces.

I don't think that there is anything frustrating about this school everyhting is good, normal likt it is in most of the schools.

The way housing runs its placement process is frustrating at times. It is all done online and sometimes the numbers of spaces available do not match the spaces actually available so finding a place you want to live can be difficult. There is not enough seating in the new dining hall, South Side, during heavy meal times.

Parking space is always frustrating to students at George Mason University.

The most furstrating thing about George Mason University is the traffic to get on campus. I live about 15 minutes away and it takes me about 30 mins to get on campus. I leave my house early (around 8-9 am) since most of my classes start around that time. I feel bad though for some of my other classmates who have class that starts around noon, which is when traffic is the worse to get on campus.

Perhaps the most frustrating is the winter when the breeze picks up , it can be very brutal and cold.
