I graduated from George Mason University two years ago. Academically its an outstanding university that offers a tremendous amount of resources for study, research, and amazing co-op and study abroad opportunities. I am not sure where some of these posters are providing negative feedback on the college life aspect of Mason.

There are fraternities, sororities as well as academic, social, religious, and social service clubs. The campus has an amazing amount of gyms, recreational spaces, on-campus restaurants (ranging from fast food, to moderate dining (Damons, etc) and a formal restaurant. There is an on-campus movie theater, multiple game rooms, and of course the Johnson Center.

When I went to Mason there were 5,000 students living on campus now there are about 6,000 with another 3,000 to be moving in over the next few years. That's the same as VA Tech and more than JMU. The only way you can't have an active social life is if you have no interests or are just bitter - which I think a couple of these posters are.

Within walking distance (or a short CUE bus ride) of campus is Fairfax City which offers bars, shops, theaters, and other recreational outlets. The Patriot Center hosts Mason's basketball teams as well as rock, progressive, country, and rap concerts - all on campus. If you have more traditional interests - there is the center for the arts which hosts broadway type plays, classical and jazz concerts, and other artistic showing - again all on campus.

Mason is a growing giant in Virginia - the educational and professional benefits alone make it a great school to attend. All the social activity and outlets is just a plus.
