What is George Mason?
1.
Undergrad - A good school in Northern Virginia. While it does not have old tradition (it was established in the 20th century) it is becoming more prominent on the college scope as it is becoming more selective admissions wise, and as its academic programs are headed by top professors.
Law school - One of the top law schools in the nation; headed by top professors. Very selective (george mason undergrads have more difficulty getting in than other applicants)
-I'm going to George Mason.
-That's a good school.

Mediocre VA public college. Better than CNU, VCU, JMU, worse than W&M and UVA. It is attempting to rapidly expand, and that fact, in tandem with their low rate of applications, makes it an easy in-state college to get into. It isn't known for any of its programs, and its graduate schools suck for the most part. It is politically more conservative, but not intelligent about it. It is the retarded man's UC.
Furthermore, its dorms suck ass.
"I'm going to George Mason University in the fall!"
"Wow. And you can walk and talk at the same time?"
