It seems autocentric and not very walkable. When you step off campus, do you feel like you're in a town?[/quote]

Such ignorance here about GMU. DD lived in the dorms four years and gad the time if her life.  Here's what she did: walked across the street to dine and shop. Shuttled to the wonderful retaurabts and bars at Grand Commons Square (Coastal Flats, Ozzi's, etc) Shuttled to Old Fairfax for art scene, walkabout the cobbled streets and eat at very cool Vietnamese retaurants and other ethoc restaurants. Breakfast scene at First Watch and the best authentic Chinese restaurant I've eaten out of China. Weekly events at tge Eagle Bank Center. On camous cinma. Great gyns. Good on-campus food at name chain restaurants. Great school spirit over basketball. Away games. Shuttled to DC and everyhing it has to offer. Shuttled to the high tech canpus at Manassas for internships. GMU Arlington has loads going on. Spent a term at Mason Korea. And met her husband there[/quote]

I mean this does prove their point about autocentric-ness [/quote]

What VA school is not autocentric outside of a campus?
You can easily get out to a civilization with a little bit of effort for GMU at least.

For such a large state, it's impressive that there isn't one decent college town. Maybe that's why my kids are focusing on OOS.

Blacksburg is an amazing college town.  [/quote]
