<p>Thanks for your reply fhshortie08. I am intrested in GMU as my second choice college. Basically, Virginia is the state where I get in-state tuition so I narrowed my college choices down to Virginia. I’m a military brat too so I move around every few years and am now living in Okinawa, Japan. But anyway I’ve lived in VA for a few years and have some family there so I pretty much consider Virginia Home. Last summer I visited George Mason University, as well as Old Dominion University, Christopher Newport University, and Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech has been my top choice and I am currently awaiting to see if I get in, but its looking slim being how competative tech is this year. Out of the other colleges I visited, I liked GMU second. Christopher Newport was a very good school, but Id rather go to a college near DC since I lived in Arlington (VA) before a few years ago before moving to Japan, and I know the area, and there’s more to see and do. UVA I don’t have the stats to get in, and Virginia Tech is much better for Engineering than UVA, since I want to major in Computer Science/Engineering. Anyway to make a long story short, GMU is my second choice because it’s a fairly good school from all the people and sources I have been looking at and talking to, and seeing all the construction and expansion, GMU definatly has a lot of potential and is growing rapidly. I just have a few more questions, you said the Information Technology and Engineering is good, how is it good?( I put my major as computer science and or Engineering) How are the professors? How is the work load? Is it easy to find jobs on campus? (I’m a certified lifeguard, do they have any openings for students at the GMU pool?) Also, how is the social scene at GMU, like is it easy to meet people and hook up and such? How are the people, are they nice? I know this is a extremely long entry, but thanks so much for your info? This also goes to anyone else who goes to GMU.</p>
