[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never understand the idea about a school being too close to home. A student never has to go home if they don't want to. I went away to college in FL but my whole dad's side lived in the town about 5 mins away. I'm talking grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins. Family I love and am close to. I NEVER saw them unless I wanted to (random Sunday meals were nice). I had a full college experience. [/quote]

The thing for George Mason is the issue for them is not just close to home it is the image and largely reality of [b]being a suburban commuter school.  I[/b]f it was University of Florida then I don't think it would face the same level of issue.  [/quote]

That stopped a long time ago.  [b]All freshman are required to live on campus[/b].  My DS spent all four years in the dorms.[/quote]

Not true.   If the student plans to live at home with their parents in nearby counties (Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Prince William, or Loudoun) they can apply for an exemption.   I live in one of those areas and know many students who live with their parents and commute in.
