Business concentrating in Management Information Systems!

Yess thank you so much for your continuous support :D!!

YASS THANK YOU MINDY <3

LOLLL I had a feeling this was going to happen

❤❤

Afternoons at Rappahannock are packed! 😲 I'm not sure about the upper levels since my parking permit doesn't cover those, but the lower levels are definitely far from empty haha

Yup, you're right! I think it's the closest to Horizon, but parking is nearly impossible during peak times. You'll need to get there really early in the morning-it's rough sometimes

Hey, welcome to Mason! As a freshman, this is the perfect time to explore and find clubs that match your interests to get more involved. You'll see plenty of flyers around campus promoting different clubs, and GMU's Instagram pages are always posting about new events. I just uploaded a new vlog for the Fall 2024 semester-feel free to check it out! th-cam.com/video/1YJ8qTzDTeY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qrPvCJoDHk-gi1QX

To access the sports facilities, you'll need to be a full-time student or purchase a membership. The good news is that they usually provide the equipment you need, depending on the activity. I recommend checking out George Mason's recreational website for more details. Good luck with your transfer to GMU!

Hi, welcome to Mason! I hope you're enjoying your first year so far. My biggest advice is doing thorough research before committing to a degree. Here are some websites that might help you narrow down your choices in business or find more information on Business Analytics: catalog.gmu.edu/colleges-schools/business/business-bs/#text catalog.gmu.edu/colleges-schools/business/business-analytics-minor/

how many days a week did you have to attend classes and how long were they each day pls pls lmk

@@BounPremBroco I went to campus everyday. Because I wanted the college experience versus just going to school only. Aka classes. So it doesn’t matter how long the class is. Or what day you go to class. For example if you only had classes Monday and wed. I still go to the campus the other days. Because I wanted the college experience. If you went to class and that it. U have 0 experience. No friends. No social life. No college life.

I completely agree-commuting can be exhausting, especially when you have a long distance to travel. Just going to class and heading straight home might not make up for a less-than-ideal experience, especially at a commuter school. I usually stay on campus all day to make the most of it and meet new people. Plus, many clubs and activities happen in the evenings, so if you stick around, there's always something to do. Hoping the Post-Grade life is treating you well!

@@JulieChau post grad life is soo much better!! Working with a work life balance and then can do whatever after feels more satisfying. School was more stressful. GMU teaches you to memorize and they’re all about the honor code. The real world ain’t like that lol

Aw thank you!!

Cool! How is your semester going so far?

@@JulieChau good, btw your video makes me feel lazy XD

Yeah Definitely! Unfortunately, whenever I go to Rap Deck, it's always full, with no parking spots available :( You gotta go early for those haha. Thank you for watching!

Both JMU and GMU have their pros and cons. What specific programs or aspects of student life are you most interested in at each school? That might help narrow down your decision

Thank you Rachel, you’re so sweet 💖

Thank you so much for your kind words! Your vlogs are unique and have their own style- keep creating and experimenting, and you'll continue to improve :)

Thank you girly 💖💖

YESSIRR

I’m transferring here too and I’ve heard it’s mixed with boring/not boring campus life. There are a ton of transfer and commuter students so that plays into it.

Hey! In my honest opinion, the party scene is not as big here compared to other schools. However, there is a diverse range of student organizations and events, so there are still opportunities to have a good time and meet new people. But ultimately, it comes down to what you make of it :)

@@allynfolletteI definitely agree! Campus life at Mason tends to receive mixed reviews, particularly because it's known as a commuter school.

Thank you!

Thank you ☺️

That's great! GMU has a lot of career, social, and learning opportunities around in the area. Thanks for watching!

Aw thanks!

Thank you so much 💗 more coming soon

I agree! While I create these vlogs for fun, I want to note I don't represent the experiences of all Mason students. Everyone's college career can be different!

Congrats on getting into GMU! :) And yes you can! I participate in intramural sports, and you can find more information here: recreation.gmu.edu/intramural-sports/

I totally understand that feeling as well! It took some time for me to adjust when I was a freshman. But don’t worry, i feel like college is one of the easiest ways to meet people because of the amount of things you can do on campus. You can meet people through student clubs, sports, classes, dining halls, study groups, events, etc.

heyy that’s so cool what year are you?

Congratulations! 🥳

haha yupp thank you 😂 more coming in the future

aw thank you so much, so are you! 💖

@@JulieChau aww ofc! btw i just subbed to youu!💖

@@TalanaJordan tysm, same to you! I love your content :)

Thank you Rachel!! How’s your semester going? I miss you sm!

@@JulieChau It's going great and I hope yours is too :) We should try to meet up on campus sometime!

im also a senior and thinking about going to gmu!

Thank you, and congratulations on your acceptance into GMU! Yes, you can play sports for fun here at the gym if you are a full-time student. If you want to join a sports team, there are programs like Intramurals and Club, which I definitely recommend

Heyy I just got accepted too! ( I’m also a senior inHS)

@@navya2569 what’s your major ?!

Ayyy lets go! No, I have never taken AP history, but you should go for it if you're interested in that field. I hope you get into GMU in the future; best of luck.

That's awesome! Some advice I would give to new students is try to get involved especially if you are a commuter (clubs and other activities are a great way to make friends) and deeply research what you want to do before deciding your major, it'll save you a lot of time & $

Many of the students don't live on campus here so social life is not so active compared to other schools. But the area provides good opportunities if you are looking to pursue a degree here.

Are there any additional fees for playing sports?
