I feel very safe at George Mason University. It’s in a beautiful location. Campus security does a good job of making all students feel safe. The school is located in the heart of Fairfax. Fairfax City is just down the street with plenty of shopping, dining and other activities. The GMU is relatively close to the Fair Oaks Mall and several theatres. GMU is also very close to DC, our nation’s capital. Mason offers students free transportation to the subway. Mason goes above and beyond to not only accommodate a wide range of students, but to make them feel welcome whenever they are here. There are many great events on campus and many cultural groups that students can participate in! I have friends from different cultures, religions, races and economic backgrounds. I also have many international friends. Coming from a small town in Virginia, diversity is welcome on this campus. And the best thing is that everyone accepts everyone to some degree. George Mason is so interesting to see how different people are and how much you can learn from them.
