George Mason University - GMU (reviews)

I enjoy every part of studying at George Mason University. The variety of classes and majors allows a broad demographic of students to attend to reach their success through engaging classes, brilliant professors, and an academic atmosphere of future success being the ultimate goal. There is a large variety of students with all backgrounds, including no discrimination based on gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, and disabilities. We are provided with many internship and study abroad opportunities, and many other ways to get involved in our field. The professors are passionate, understanding, and want to help you excel in their class. As someone with disability accommodations, they are always understanding and helpful to make sure my opportunity is no less than any other student.

George Mason University is a wonderful school taught by some of the most knowledgable professors in all or Virginia! Mason has hundreds of clubs and organizations, anyone could find their perfect fit at George Mason.

George Mason University is a large site of diversity and inclusion. It’s what they pride themselves to be, and they are right in some areas. As a Black film student in the FAVS program, that diversity isn’t one of those areas. When I looked into the crowd during the Film at Mason showcase, I saw a sea of White students with a sprinkle and dash of Asian and Black. The faculty is no better as there is only one full-time Black professor in the film program. The good thing about the program, in my opinion, is the way the program is set up. GMU itself is a hit or miss sometimes. There’s a lot of freedom to do things, but it’s way too expensive, especially for out-of-state students. Overall, GMU has its good things and its bad.
