“GMU sucks.Quite BrightFinance
GMU sucks. If you have dreams of professional success, go elsewhere. If your only goal in life is to obtain a meaningless government job as a robot, GMU is the perfect place.
Students can largely be segregated into two groups:
1) Spoil, rich kids who are too stupid for their wise affluent parents to justify tuition elsewhere
2) Really bright hard-working individuals from humble backgrounds and cannot afford higher tuitions at quality schools
Unfortunately, the administration's stated mission is to become the "college of Northern Virginia" and are striving to grow the student body by leaps-and-bounds. Thus, more and more student in category 1 are being admitted and the administration is not focused on quality education to attract more students from category 2.
The School of Management is a joke. More students than not were struggling with the concept of net present value....AND these were finance majors in senior level finance courses.Do not choose GMU unless you have no ambitions.

“Okay I've been at Mason for a yearAverageEconomics
Okay I've been at Mason for a year and the student population SUCKS. People are uber cliquish and its high school all over again. Most of the people stick to their own ethnic cliques, talk on their cell phones, and are basically huge snobs. Well that being said, the professors are awsome. So far I've loved every prof I've had, they've been super helpful and if you visit during office hours they're usually willing to give "hints" for exams. I've even had a professor who changed my grade just b/c he thought I was "trying" really hard. So yeah that was great. The parking sucks and so does the food, but if you live in the area, the amount you save on housing by living at home is great. The friendless atmosphere makes you study more, but if you want that tradtitional college experience than go somewhere else. NOVA is a nice place to live, so if you like it then stick around and go to NOVA. I figure you can get drunk and crazy when all your friends come home for the summer.
