[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ridiculous thread.  Mason is far from the ugliest and why should anyone pick college based solely based on beauty anyway?

Most Virginia colleges have something that could be significantly improved.  JMU has an Interstate and railroad track running through it.  VCU has some great older re-purposed but a lack of open space and bad newer buildings.  ODU is kind of nondescript.   UVA kind of loses the thread as you move away from the Lawn.  VT has good and bad.  Pretty much anything that was put up on Virginia campuses from 1955-1980 was architecturally questionable.  Why single out GMU?[/quote]

Would’ve been better just to let this thread die. But since you did...VT and UVA are gorgeous. You’re nitpicking. [b]Mason is blah.

Grow up.  Mason is lovely.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpj5ZiJox-0.  And my DD's dorm rooms looked like hotel rooms complete with enormous private bath w/ tub and kitchen.  There are benefits to a campus with state-of-the-art buildings.  GMU has five campuses, the most beautiful is the brand new one in Songdu, Korea.  https://masonkorea.gmu.edu/[/quote]

Does the Fairfax campus tour allow you to see one of these newer student dorms with the updated hotel-like design?  It might sway some students to GMU if they see how comfortable the living conditions are.

[b][b]Nope. We’ve been on 2 recent tours and only see outsode of residence  halls.[/quote][/b]

We were shown the inside of a dorm, but perhaps that was accepted students day.  The dorm that DD got which looked like a hotel was Tidewater.  The next year she had a single in a quad in Piedmont.  There is also a hotel that has been changed into dormitory housing which is very nice.[/quote]

Just checked - there are many dorm tour videos made by students on youtube, like this one.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPjztj4W6EQ&list=PLF25i2gqkXWkASSPGwyyncSkraTlj1RKa&index=9[/quote]
