[quote=Anonymous]I went to UVA (in-state) and never considered Mason as an option. I didn’t even apply and it wasn’t on my radar. I wanted to get out of Fairfax County and go away to college.

Fast forward and my DS is interested so we toured the school recently. There seem to be a lot of students living on campus and plenty of OOS students as well. Tons of clubs and activities to get involved in. He really liked it. The campus was nice and they are building a lot of off campus student apartments.

DS is a “B+” student with ADHD and some other challenges which make close to home a good option for him. Mason has an EF support program that would be great for him. He's not the party/frat type either so doesn’t care about that. Just wants to make a group of friends to hang out with.

Mason isn’t for everyone but can be a great option for the right kid. I was surprisingly impressed and I think my kid can be happy there and go on to pursue whatever career he desires.

I had a similar impression of VCU. We are quite lucky in Virginia to have these great options that can meet the needs of a range of students.
