[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went there, not by choice.

They will graduate debt free, with some really great opportunities.  Some of the professors also teach at universities like Georgetown and GW.

I won't sugar coat it, but the social scene is not a typical college experience.   They have a newer president.  It seems that under his tenure, the "typical" college social experiences are growing.  The basketball team is good and brings in fun, but they really need a football team, in my opinion.  I think adding that facet of college life would really up the desirability of the school.   The town is not a "college town" so the kids miss out on that type of culture that UVA, VT, JMU, etc offer.

If your kid is okay with the social part being more low key, then academically, financially,  and outcome wise, GM is a solid choice.

He's been there four years! And the first African-American! what ARE you talking about?[/quote]

4 years woulld definitely fall in the category of "newer" president. He definitely is doing a good job of moving GMU towards a more typical college experience under his tenure.

We definitely see the school going in the right direction under his leadership.  Well, except for the ugly new logo.  But otherwise, he has been a positive.

Not sure what his race has to do with this discussion...[/quote]
