[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine. It's sort of a manufactured university setting. No traditions. Student Life is not a priority. [/quote]

I suspect PP meant this as a negative but the vast majority of universities in other countries don't give two hoots about traditions, student life, frats, football and all the nonsense whose primary reason is to build a brand and eventually charge more. Most focus on educating students so they can go out and get jobs. GMU (or is is GM now?) does a fantastic job at that![/quote]

DP here.  WTH kind of student does not want to actually have the college experience?  It doesn't have to be frats or football games, but something?  Anything? Do they not want or need human interaction?? That's.....odd.....

Mason is not the same as colleges overseas, though. Overseas is well, overseas.

[b]Mason is for kids who want/need close to home, even if they are not commuting.  Though it seems primarily still a commuter school. [/b]

utterly false. DD spent four great years enjoyinf a full dorm experience at GMU with INTERNATIONAL and OOS (as in Akaska,CA and Nevada) students as her room or suite-mates! she went to Mason Korea and Japan. Mason arranged for three paid internships in her field during the three summers and was hired by MicroSoft before graduation. GMU is now the largest R1 University in the Commonwealth with five VA campuses and the Korea one with 41,000 students. GMU was reclassified by the Carnegie Foundation as a "primarily residential" college (i.e., not resudential) more than 16 years ago. Go and visit all five VA campuses and see the dorm life before you make such ignorant comments. i know several GMU Honors students now in [b]T3 law schools[/b].[/quote]

Not sure where to start with this one. [/quote]
