[quote=Anonymous]The campus is growing like mad, lots of really nice new buildings.  I think somewhere between 6-7k students live in on-campus housing, others live in off-campus housing with friends, but a sizeable portion live at home and commute.  You see a lot of people walking around campus or eating in the Johnson Center (less so in the pandemic, though it's picking up again) or hanging out in various locales/dining halls.  It's a REALLY big school (over 40k students), but students find their niche.  It has a diverse student population--it regularly is listed as among the more diverse schools in the country.  One of its strengths is that there doesn't seem to be the large racial gaps in key markers like GPA/graduation rates/student engagement that you see in less diverse schools.

I would make sure to focus on people's experiences in the past 5-8 years because it is really growing and changing fast.  Around that time, GMU became designated an R1 institution which lifted its profile further. They seem to have handled the pandemic pretty well and there are now in-person classes and on-line classes depending on your preference.   There are a lot of graduate students who drive in for classes after 4:30 PM.
