[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a great school on many fronts, but local kids don't consider it a "real" college experience if they go. International and first-gen don't have that bias. Interestingly, my son attends another Virginia school and did a cross-over project with GMU students last summer. He said those students were sharp and their work was really innovative. He was second-guessing why he wrote it off so quickly. [/quote] George Mason's rise (if it comes and I think it is happening) will come first from immigrant, minority, and international students not from multi-generation American students. Wanting the traditional college experience is a valid perspective but the decision tree is different for many immigrant and international students. My guess is Virginia Tech would like to be closer to George Mason's demographics. If George Mason does rise - the perspective of local students will evolve over time.[/quote]
