The biggest advantage for GMU is its proximity to Washington DC. There are excellent internship opportunities. Public transportation allows you to go anywhere you want, cheaply. The academics are very good.

The cons of GMU: there is no “college feel” to it. There is no school spirit, no feeling of being “home”, and not a lot of excitement in the air. Yes, there are hundreds of clubs to join, Greek life, and they even have some sports teams. So it is not difficult to meet new people. Still, most are only there during the week, going home on weekends. Many more just commute. Weekends are very quiet. It is also an expensive area, so off-campus housing is pricey.
