I'm a freshman at GMU and only decided to come here because of my parents financial hardships at the time of making a decision for college. I figured I would give the university a shot since my elders told me how up-and-coming GMU really is. Truth be told, GMU is an up-and-coming school, it just won't be as great as everyone think it is for at least the next five years.I decided to live on campus and get thefull college experienceHowever, I was lied to by the GMU Patriot Leaders at orientation when they said the Triple rooms in Presidents Park are larger than the double. THIS IS NOT THE CASE and I have been placed in a small box room, cramped with two other people who didn't even receive enough dressers in our room due to the excess number of students living on campus.Getting involved on campus isn't that hard, you just have to look into what you are interested in. Nothing is going to come to you. If you want a fun, social life at GMU you have two options: Join a fraternity/sorority (this means you are gauranteed to party) or don't go to GMU. However, these parties aren't even that fun. Mason is a dry campus and the police are out to get your on a friday/saturday night. Going to DC is an option. However, if you're from NOVA, like me, you are aware of how long it takes to get into the city unlike the out-of-state students.If you want to be challenged academically, do not go to GMU. I was a straight A student in high school with AP and Honors classes. I currently have straight As at Mason. The work is not challenging and I barely study for tests and haven't gotten lower than a B. I would say if you were a C student in high school then Mason would be challenging for you.Overall, I've definitely learned that Mason is not the school for me and will do not nothing for me if I continue my studies here. Students who are from out-of-state tend to love Mason, while in-state students find themselves stuck and bored. Every Virginian I have met so far plans to transfer to VT, UVA or William and Mary. I, myself, am planning to transfer to GW next fall. The Mason Nation is dull and unenthusiatic about their future and career. However, if you feel you can make the best of it, go for it. |
