[quote=Anonymous]We are from non-DCUM Virginia, and DD was in the Honors College at GMU. She was happy overall, and I tried to remember what she enjoyed/complained about below.

Positives:
-Dorms were newer and very nice
Honors College: curriculum compacts gen ed requirements (resulting in more room to play with schedule/double major/minor), provides a smaller community, confers priority registration, advisors were good
-Access to DC for internships throughout the school year (critical for her major)
-Diversity
-Greek life is there if you want it but not a big deal if you don’t want to be involved — DD wasn’t interested but friends who were didn’t seem consumed by it

Negatives
-Food wasn’t great, but mitigated once moving to a suite with a kitchen
-Only one shopping center walkable from campus otherwise need to take shuttle or have a car (parking is $$)
-Long commute for the internships mentioned as a positive (she agrees worth it in the end because other admissions she considered seriously were GW and AU, but GMU was so much less expensive)
