<p>This info was exactly what I needed thanxs. I have a few question for Mason students. I have practically decided on Mason(my other option is American but they gave me crappy aid) since I got good money but I am unsure about its academic and commuter status. How is the government program and are the classes intellectually stimulating? Is there a good mix of of liberals and conservatives? a good mix of jocks, hippies, different people? I have read its really boring on campus and since I will be living on campus it worries me. Is it that hard to meet people? is there any advice for having a positive freshman experience? thanxs</p>
