Mark pretty much sums up George Mason Univiersity. To ge honest, I attended there because I was about to get too old for dad to pay my tuition and had to go somewhere if I wanted to earn a four year degree!!
While there, the university began to expand buildings on the campus rapidly. My tuition cost nearly doubled in two years! And I never reaped anything extra for that since none of the expansion was finished before I was graduated. I concentrated on getting good grades and a degree while working as a UPS driver, so I didn't really take part in any social events. Nice school, though, and very diverse in both its student population and the viewpoints of its faculty (though I remember a liberal slant, but I'm biased).
