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.

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.
