Matthew

A person attending GMU as an undergraduate should wish to study business, economics, criminal justice, policitical science, or english. If they are low on money but too intelligent for a community college, GMU offers great value for the education it delivers. The person must be outgoing and have initiative to take advantage of all GMU has to offer. Otherwise they will be bored and friendless. Its proximity to Washington, DC, Greek life, volunteer opportunities, ROTC program, student groups based on religion, major, or interests all offer a plethora of opportunities.

Mason has excellent undergraduate and graduate programs. The mojority of students, however, are ages 17-26, and come from all over the United States and the world. We have one of the most diverse campuses with one of the largest Muslim populations in the U.S. There are several English, Science, Business, Government, and Arts majors.

A dedicated person, someone who's looking for diversity, opportunities, and fun. Being in the center of Fairfax and so close to D.C we definitely have more opportunities than other universities do.

Mason is such a diverse school as well, who are open to all ideas and a real life experience to what the real job world would be like. And a place where many extracurricular activies and clubs are available for every student.

Whoever attends this school should be very self-motivated and hardworking. There aren't many restrictions for students living on campus, such as myself; especially not for incoming freshmen.

So strong-willed individuals with a good support system should attend.
