George Mason's campus features a wide range of majors and classes with strong faculty, but the entire area it encompasses is rather small, including the dorms. This is convenient as it makes traveling between classes and buildings easy. It shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to get between any two points on campus, including the dorms. An important aspect of the campus is the friendliness of the student body. Most every student is very nice and welcoming and there is very little animosity between students.

There are new building added to campus every year and/or semester since my freshman year, and the older ones are renivated to keep them up to par with newer buildings.

It is constantly expanding to keep up with the growing student population which is amazing to see.

I think the best thing about my school is the Fraternity and Sorority Life. I would not have felt as involved around campus or would have met as many people if it wasn't for my Sorority.
