The diversity at my school is amazing. I love how I have friends of different cultures and backgrounds that I can learn from. I find that this will be very helpful in my post-college life. It seems like there is a place for every person here, I could not imagine anyone feeling completely shut off or like an outcast. I can relate with different types of people and I do not feel like I need to fit into some sort of "clique". I feel that I can be myself no matter who I am with here.

The best thing about George Mason University is the open, accepting and motivating environment. I genuinely like coming to school to learn and be around great people and fantastic professors.

I have only wonderful things to say to prospective students because I have had such a great experience here.

I love the diversity at my school! There are so many opportunities to learn and immerse yourself in different cultures. There's even an international student week here at Mason where the university represents all the countries students are from. There are booths all over campus to teach us about the food, clothing, and culture of each country represented here at Mason.

George Mason University is full of many unique stidents and teachers all on their own paths in life. But we are a community of people willing to learn and grow. I love being on campus where I live, go to sport events, do club activites, and I would not want to be anywhere else.

The diversity of the students because you never feel alone.

There is a lot of diversity and there is a club for everyone and everything. All of the students and professors are very accepting of cultural differences.

I enjoy the diversity in my school and how proud each different ethnic group is about their culture. The willingness of these groups to teach others about their culture is truley amazing. Each year groups put on diferent cultural activities and awareness conventions that attract people from all over the world and bring recognition the each diverse culture.

I feel that George Mason University epitomizes diversity. With students and faculty belonging and ranging from nearly all 50 states, as well as, other countries, the culture of George Mason University is almost unrivaled by most colleges and universities. The location and proximity are also very noted worthy characteristics of this school as well. Being located in Fairfax, VA and being only a mere 20 minutes from DC, the internship and employment opportunities are great as well.

It appears to have a diverse population. More people to meet.

The professors are what I consider the best thing about my school. They were alwasy willing to help when I needed it the most During the fall semester of 2010 my microeconomics professor went so far as to going to school on his day off to help with a concept I was having a hard time with.

It feels like home; our school is a good size but you will always see someone you know when walking around the campus. Students and teachers are so nice and helpful you can't help but feel welcomed. All schools have their ups and downs including mine but I don't think I would want to be anywhere else.

The cutural, racial and ethnic diversity at my school helps ensure a variety of different opinions that is necessary for balanced discussion. People should get used to having to compromise and see other points of view, because rarely in life will you be in a position where everyone else agrees with you. Being able to make your position understood clearly and consisely is important, and this is evidenced by the way classes are structured here.

I love that this school is very innovative, diverse, and near the city. It gives us the opportunity to find activities to do off campus being near Washington Dc itself. The work is tough but it only motivates you to do the best you can.

The best thing is cocurricular activities. Because apart from study these activities give us chance to polish our leadership qualities and managerial skill.

Location - A lot of opportunity for jobs/internships/networking in the surrounding areas.

The best thing about George Mason is the location. The location of George Mason allows students to get involved in government internships and other proporous internships. Also its location allows for it to trade books between libraries with Georgetown, George Washington, and American Universities. The book trading allows for students to get any book that is needed whether on-campus or at another university.

Diversity is the most common used term for this school. However, people generally keep to themselves due to busy schedules of sticking in cliques. It cannot be helped because GMU is known as a commuter school with those working and studying full-time. So there is not much time to socialize. The location is great because it provides convenience for those who want to work, study, and explore. In addition, there are many freebies associated with being a GMU student, such as sports facilities, computer labs, buses, and reduced tickets to concerts.

It is very diverse, I am exposed to many different cultural backgrounds which really helps me to understand the world I live in. There are so many ways to get connected that you have to make an effort not to meet people.

For me the best thing about Mason would be its level of diversity. College is all about meeting peole, learning who you are and, learning to see the world through unsheltered eyes. Going to a school with so many different people helps you to do that. When you have a chance to meet people from other countries and cultures it allows you to kind of see what the world is like looking through others eyes and that can help you learn more about yourself. That is a major part of the college experience.
