The dorms are much newer than most, all are air-conditioned and have wifi, some of them are super nice (Eastern Shore and Hampton Roads are nice, the later has a diner open until 4 am). The campus feels safe at all hours (compared to many others) and is easily walkable. There are a lot of things to do without the “party school” atmosphere. Free shuttle to the Metro to take you into downtown DC. You live in a quiet suburban area but have access to a major city. There are many internship opportunities and GMU has a great record of good salaries for recent grads. They are re-doing the mall across the street, so soon there will be more enticing places within walking distance. GMU has great tech, international, economics, law, and performing arts programs. What is your intended major, maybe that would help? Downsides: if you really want to be in a hopping urban area the campus may be too tranquil for you.
