[quote=Anonymous][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 $$)
[b]-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)

DS was a Serious Game Design major so got an internship at the VSGI headquarters at GMU's Science and Technology campus in Manassas campus.   He took the shuttle bus to and from the main campus.  https://vsgi.gmu.edu/.  He has been employed full-time by Bethesda Softworks for two years.[/quote]
