So how are the week-ends at GMU??

<p>Chazman0426 - </p>

<p>I have mixed feelings about GMU. The first two weeks of my freshmen semester was awful. I had no close friends and I was lonely and homesick. Thankfully, my situation turned for the better and I became close friends with my roomate, her friends, and others I had met on my own. </p>

<p>Personally, I find Mason to be pretty boring; however, I don’t get out much since I don’t have a car. A typical weekend for my friends and I consist of watching movies, sleeping in, playing pool at the game room, playing cards, eating at Ikes, going to the gym, etc. It’s not like party in the Park! Then again, you have to realize this is coming from someone who doesn’t participate in the greek life or other clubs. Even though I’m not involved with those stuff, I’m happy at Mason. </p>

<p>To sum it up:</p>

<p>I like Mason because: I have close friends here, DC is close by, the College of Information Technology & Engineering is great, tuition for me is cheap, it’s very diverse, there are free movies, there are pool tables, there are intramural leagues, they have a great gym, I work on campus and make $, sometimes there are big events like concerts at the Patriot Center.</p>

<p>I don’t like Mason because: it’s a commuter school, it gets really cold sometimes, sometimes it feels like there’s nothing to do.</p>

<p>Why do you want to go to GMU?</p>
