<p>As a mom of 2 college kids ,I think you should spend more time on having fun ,and less time on CC !!Kids can find out all this information in other ways .</p>
<p>I am currently in the process of applying for transfer admission to GM for fall 2011, are sophomores required to live on campus? Is it easy for transfers to become integrated into the campus community? Any insight into George Mason is a huge help, thank you!</p>
<p>@BigWig: the Chesapeake dorms are dry-wall.
From what I’ve heard, your ability to get into any dorm is dependent on your credits. The more credits you have, the more likely you’ll get what you want. So Northern Neck is usually reserved for juniors and seniors because they have the most credits; if you have a lot of AP credits you might be on the same level as a second semester sophomore or first semester junior, which is an obvious bonus. But out of all the three listed, Northern Neck would definitely be the best choice. 
I’ve been in the building, it’s veeery nice.</p>
<p>@paradiselost: I don’t think anyone is required to live on-campus at Mason because there are many freshman that commute, but I haven’t explored living off-campus so I wouldn’t know. And I know two transfers who are doing just fine, you just have to make an effort to get involved in activities as you would as a freshman.</p>
<p>Hey.jelly
I got accepted at GMU, JMU and northeastern for their business program, i want to major in finance with minor in eco or mathematics. I am an international student, so tuition cost is a factor in deciding. I have my relatives living in MD baltimore, so studying at GMU would allow me to stay at their place, which would eliminate my living/food costs. But i am not too sure about their business program.
Northeastern has a great business program (ranked 25 by bloomberg) and so does of JMU (ranked 29), whereas GMU is not in the first 100 rankings.
Kindly tell me about internships GMU would offer me and job oppurtunities there.
i would really appreciate your help.</p>
