It's 46K all in. Whether you receive merit aid or not is something to talk to the admissions officer. We received no merit aid and did not qualify for financial aid via fafsa, so were full pay. Interestingly, we had two going through the process at the same time. GMU computer science was more expensive than UVA engineering. But I do know someone on the GMU Board who is against raising tuition. Whether he succeeds or not we shall see.

Exactly. I’m sure other kids (from elsewhere) rule out universities that they live close to as well. Kids from all over come to GMU, so it’s really just locals who pooh-pooh it due to proximity.

I don't know. Well over half of students at GMU are from NoVA.

False.

That's what SCHEV says.

From Fairfax County - 9,602 undergraduates
From Prince William County - 3,794 undergraduates
From Loudoun County - 3,368 undergraduates


From Arlington County - 748 undergraduates
From Alexandria City - 451 undergraduates
From Fairfax City - 333 undergraduates
From Manassas City - 278 undergraduates
From Masassas Park City - 182 undergraduates
From Falls Church City - 68 undergraduates

27,519 undergraduates, so about 67% are from NoVA.

Right. It is a nice school for lower class + lower middle class kids who can save % living at home + commuting.

When you write stuff like this out, do you feel better about yourself afterwards?

Huh? Sounds like you are projecting.

Why is it so hard to simply provide a link?

https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/E12RA_Report.asp

This link is from 2013. And shows none of the above. So I can only assume the above "information" was made up.

No just factual. I did the same thing in another state.

DP. Except that it's not factual if you can't provide the actual facts. As in, CITED FACTS.

GMU has a lot to offer. It can’t be beat for location and proximity to internships and employment opportunities.

It's 46K all in. Whether you receive merit aid or not is something to talk to the admissions officer. We received no merit aid and did not qualify for financial aid via fafsa, so were full pay. Interestingly, we had two going through the process at the same time. GMU computer science was more expensive than UVA engineering. But I do know someone on the GMU Board who is against raising tuition. Whether he succeeds or not we shall see.

Is this 46k , tuition, room and board for OOS students, or in-state?

I want to know too. That seems like a high in-state cost for a school with its ranking. You can go to UVA for less.

But I said with “good merit”, based on what another poster said.

PP, this is OOS.

yes, of course this is OOS. In state is like $28K for tuition, fees, room/board.

This link does not show what PP claims. First, you can get to the figures for 2022 (instead of 2013) by clicking through at the top of the page. That will show you that only the total undergrad student population from Fairfax County is 9,6022, which is only 41.1 percent of the undergrad student body. . Even if you went with the 2013 figures FF numbers would still be only 2% higher. So PP is simply wrong claiming 67%. I knew it had to be wrong because I have a DS there. And I've taught there.

Exactly. The PP in question specifically and properly included other parts of NoVA (e.g., Arlington county, Loudoun county, etc.) in their calculation, which was correct.

https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/virginia/george-mason-university/price/

GMU CS for OOS is more expensive then UVA engineering in-state. DS is in school of engineering at UVA and all-in is 45,882: https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance.

In other words, GMU CS for OOS student, with room & board, is still less than the the cost of attending Sidwell Friend, LOL....
