[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a freshman at Mason and it has been a good experience so far. [b]He lives in a dorm, so he has independence, but he’s able to pop back home when he wants to do laundry or have a home cooked meal.[/b]
Registration for classes has been his biggest challenge. He wasn’t able to get a couple of Mason Core classes that he needs and will have to take them next year, although he wanted to get them out of the way freshman year. If your DS is in Honors College, I believe they have priority registration so that may not be an issue. 
I’ve also heard complaints that a lot of classes are virtual rather than in-person, which seems ridiculous to me for the amount of tuition they charge.

OP, you know your kid. For me, this would have meant I did not acclimate to school at all. I'd have been at home constantly. I was so homesick!! But I needed to just suffer through to get to the point where I loved it by second semester of my first year. I have a kid who I would NOT want going to Mason/GW/Gtown/etc., etc. because he is just like me and I already know he is going to hate school when he first goes. My other kid would be fine and we would rarely see her. She'd probably come home with laundry, but I doubt she will be homesick and we/home would not be the crutch it would be for some kids. Make sense?[/quote]
