[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's aunt's cousin's nephew and I were just discussing the computer science program at GMU.  He works as a recruiter for a Fortune 5000 company, and says that GMU grads are in extremely high demand at their company.

The education is incredible, not to mention the campus is so very modern. My niece says she cannot even sleep at night because the construction is always.going.on!  Compare this to Stanford where most of the buildings are at least 20 years old and greatly resemble the style of the local Taco Bell, I would give GMU some serious consideration. [/quote]

this is quite true.  The Computer Science, Game Design and all Engineering departments are top notch.  The heads of the departments and executive advisory boards meet monthly with the tech. companies in the Dulles corridor to assess what the companies need in terms of employees.  The tech companies and federal government give GMU contracts to devise serious training games and computer programs.  The undergrads get to work on those contracts and get paid at the same time.  My DS is only a junior and has an internship already with a well-known game design company.  He takes the GMU bus from the Fairfax Campus directly to the company's front door.   The state legislature is pumping a lot of money into GMU and it shows.  The buildings and most dorms are state-of-the art.  If there is one drawback, it's the constant drum of construction, like the new library and new dorms.[/quote]
College is NOT job training or trade school. Posts like these turn me off greatly to GMU.[/quote]
