Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright The only reason I went to George Mason was because it was the only university I could realistically be a commuter student from. I was accepted into the University of Virginia and didn't go for that reason. I have to say that Mason is a really crappy school. I was never into campus life as I had my own outside of school so I can't comment on that aspect. However, the academics, faculty, and policies are horrible and frustrated me to the point of almost dropping out. They caused me to hate what I was studying and I ended up switching majors from neuroscience to biology for undergraduate and now I'm doing computer science in graduate. If you are capable of getting into another school don't even consider Mason. Campus Maintenance: A-, Faculty Accessibility: F Have a Question?

It has excellent faculty, and provides students with a plethora of course selections and majors to choose from. Mason graduates are no longer looked at as second best--but the best. Getting into Mason is harder than it used to be, and its reputation is getting better all the time. Give Mason a look, and don't write it off as a commuter school. It's a bargain if you're willing to work hard and get the most out of your education. University Resource Use: A, Campus Maintenance: B- Have a Question?

In terms of socializing, groups, and activities. Although it is a commuter school, I've heard the campus is dead on Friday's and weekends. Food is okay. Facility varies from each major. You'll find some that are amazing, and some that have no idea what they are talking about. Some are harder than others, within the Neuroscience major, its still fairly new major and the kinks and bugs are getting sorted out. I'd say start research with professors soon, even if you are thinking of going to medical school. Plans might change and you'll regret not participating in the research available. Mason has the Krasnow Institute which is excellent with research. I heard Mason and some place in California are the top institutes, which is pretty impressive. Overall Mason is an okay school. I think people take it for granted its very diverse and the gym's are ok. I heard VCU has rock-climbing which Mason is lacking but hey... You can't have it all.

I love being a student at this school, and I'm very proud of the studies and classes I'm in. Some might say, ohhh theres nothing to do on campus on the weekends boo hooo. My question is what kind of loser would want to stay on a campus all weekend and sing kum bi ya, when you're living within one of the largest metro areas of the country?? George Mason has nothing but positive oppertunities for you if you are willing to work hard to better yourself, and the city has all the fun you could possibly want in your free time.
