[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to like GMU and I think it's great for career purposes, BUT the people I know who have gone or do go there, [b]they go home every weekend[/b]. Even if they have to live there during the week, it is not a typical college experience on the weekends.  The kids I know go home because everyone else does, not because they want to, but they'd rather not sit alone in their dorm room all weekend.[/quote]Stayed a summer there and had parties in my dorm.  Had boys including models hang/take me out to the local shops on weekends.  Went to different international events and concerts on the weekends and bbqs every week.  Did you even check the Eagle Bank Arena schedule?  When the summer semester ended, I would purposely drive to Fairfax just to eat the amazing food at the Globe (professional hotel steam oven).  It really depends on your kids personality.

Not having a [i]typical[/i] college experience (thousands aren't typical?) can be a very good thing-UVa's Alpha Phi sorority sent my name to a collection agency, not for a single/late payment, but for dare trying to quit.  I met my husband (also did his undergrad at UVa) at a Mason social event when we were both working in the area.  If your kid is real snooty though/anti-international/anti-minority/desperate only for a date/etc, he will struggle.  There was one girl I met at GMU who posted she wanted to go out and when I offered, she shut me down saying she wanted to meet boys.  I knew lots of single boys in the hall to introduce, but she shut me out before I got the chance.[/quote]
