George Mason University

I am an avid swimmer and Mason has one of the finest Aquatic Facilities on the east coast - bar none. I am involved in two academic organizations and a fraternity. The ever growing on-campus population only makes these activities and facilities better.

The campus is undergoing a lot of construction - but it reflects the growth of the university and also results in the students getting all brand new facilities with the latest features and accommodations.

The basketball, soccer,and lacrosse programs are successful and also provide a lot of social opportunities and fun for the students. I would definitely recommend Mason.

Mason is a young university but has quickly developed its engineering and SITE programs to one of the best in the state. The School of Information Technology and Engineering provides excellent resources for study and research including brand new and state of the art computer labs, high end comupting machines, and large amounts of easily accessible research material. I also like how the dean for SITE maintains regular contact with all the program's students to ensure everyone is receiving the support they need as they complete their degree. In addition, Mason also is near alot of high tech companies in Northern Virginia who have a relationship with the University that results in numerous opportunities for internships and co-op.

The campus is quite pretty although it is going through a lot of construction. However, this construction is bringing in a large amount of new campus housing, academic buildings, dining options, and facilities for student recreation.

I spend a lot of my time at the indoor swimming facility and gym.
