George Mason University Top Questions

The best thing about George Mason University is that the professors encourage you to achieve greatness. I love being challenged academically in an environment where the teachers want to see you work hard, but most importantly, succeed. It is extremely rewarding to work towards a goal that your professors are there to help you with every step of the way if need be. Although it can amount to a lot of time used studying, researching, and learning, it is worth receiving the education that will enable us to chase our career dreams and help change the world.

School Spirit. Students and faculty form a bond through school spirit and, thus, are able to form a community.

I have been part of the George Mason community even before I became a student at the university. I have been part of what connects students, from the motivation of college enrichment programs, that go into the middle class communities, and give knowledge to the youth about college and what can be attained by striving for those goals. I have become a better person by going to college, and I really can not picture myslef being anywhere but Mason. The diversity is something I define my identity within the campus and within its colorful students.

I consider the best thing about my school to be the location. There is a lot of things to do, that keep you away from the trouble and pressures of college parties.

Very diverse so you get to learn about different cultures. Its also near a city so you have everything you need around you.

I like that there is a lot of ethnic and racial diversity on campus; especially since George Mason is centered in a transit area the campus reflects that The world is not made of people of just one race or ethnicity so why should someone limit their selves to colleges with no diversity. Going to George Mason gives you a chance a experience and make friends from different cultures.

At Mason, school is school. I transfered, so am older than many other students. I work full time, as well as being a full-time student. This is difficult, but since Mason is largely a commuter school, I do not feel alone in this; it is nice to share and receive support. Through my major classes and some fun electives I've taken, I've been able to meet some great people, who are different from the type of people I usually encounter just passing time on campus (younger people heavily involved in greek life).

George Mason has the programs that I need to take for before I get into a pharmacy school and it is also very close to my house. I thing this is the best thing about this school.

I think the best thing about my school is the availability of so many different resources. Whether it is the facilities, different and interesting courses, student organizations, or university events, I am never amazed at the number of different activities available to George Mason Univesity students. This surely can sidetrack even the most dedicated student, but it is nice to know that there is always something to do other than study.

The best thing about my school is that it is so close to home. I lived on campus for my first semester and did not enjoy it so i was able to commute this year which is great. Also, fairfax is near everything. Washington DC is only 40 minutes away and there are plenty of activities to do around the area.
