[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I get the feeling DCUM parents look down on "commuter schools" based on their idealized memorie[/b]s about their college experience decades ago. Just back off and let your kid decide. If they're ok with living at home and going to GMU, so be it.[/quote]

GMU stopped being a commuter school in 2011 when the Carnegie Foundation reclassified it as primarily residential.  https://www.insidenova.com/news/fairfax/changes-at-gmu-lead-to-designation-as-primarily-residential-institution/article_5acea37e-98d7-5091-9796-90f3ac439160.html[/quote]

[b]Obvious that OP still thinks it is.[/quote][/b]

Well then she is old and quite wrong.  My kids lived in the dorms all four years.  Had regular college experiences.  Used the university's jitney buses to get downtown DC, Fairfax for shopping and dining, and to the Manassas high tech campus for computer related courses.  Both had paid internships all three summers (even my UVA kid didn't get PAID internships) and were hired by FAANG before graduation.  Go and tour all five campuses.  Oh wait, one is in Korea.[/quote]
