[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the response.

I don’t know much about GMU, but see it mentioned as an option for CS. Is the school mostly local students (I assume most from VA)?  Do people go home on weekends?  It seems like a quickly growing school, is that fair to say? Is there a good sense of community, in the traditional college experience sense?  Would you describe the campus as suburban or rural?  Is there any college town area in walking distance from campus?

Also looking at Rutgers and Boulder, for comparison.

Thanks again![/quote]

It used to be a commuter school, but has evolved. We live locally, but DS lives on campus and I never see him. Statistically, students break down as 1/3 on campus, 1/3 off campus housing, and 1/3 commute. It is very much suburban, just outside the DC beltway. Easy metro ride downtown, ample shuttles and buses around Fairfax for shopping and going out. Shopping center you can walk to across the street and walkable to Fairfax City with lots of shops and restaurants, etc.[/quote]
