I 'm a parent, and my Son is in his second Semester. He’s majoring in Cyber Security Engineering and he’s in the Honors College. My Son could have gone to other good schools in Virginia, but he chose George Mason. He had to weigh the pros and cons. For him the degree program, internships and proximity to DC, just made sense to him. He knew he would have to give up a little, in terms of school spirit for the better opportunities that awaited him. I say a little bit because I would have to disagree with the last poster about the school having no school spirit. The school does have school spirit. Ask Doc Nix and the Green Machine which has been rated the #1 pep band in the NCAA. Is it to degree of the other schools with high school spirit? No! But to say Mason has no school spirit is not accurate.

As far as the school being quiet on the weekends, for the most part it is. But they do have activities for the students across campus. There are a lot of students who do commute, but that’s not Mason’s fault. Fairfax, VA has a huge polulation, being so close to DC, and Mason provides opportunities for all students. That’s why Mason is the largest Public University in Virginia.

I have been very impressed with this school because a lot of their degree programs are in the top ten in the Country, including my Son’s. Mason is a very innovative University who’s always striving for excellence.
