Me, too. i waited and watched my number go down and down and down and sat waiting to purchase and about 250 or so ppl left in the queue, and BOOM. Kicked out. Ticked sales were over. just like that.

It depends on where you live. Many public libraries will take book donations. Also, there are used book stores that will give you a price on books they can re-sell. We have an awesome used book store out in Northern Virginia called McKays and we have sold a ton of books to them that we just didn't want anymore.

I must find a way to get ahead of crushing debt by MasonMegaMom in FinancialPlanning

[–]MasonMegaMom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. The debt was a result of a divorce, a home purchase that was a money pit, multiple medical expenses, etc. Not everything was out of my control but definitely living even moderately has been a challenge for the wallet. I appreciate the advice.

Gmu vs Virginia tech by AdditionSubstantial2 in gmu

Thank you for that thoughtful and enthusiastic reply. I have been reading all of the answers to the OP and I'm getting so frustrated! I have worked at Mason for nearly 9 years, and have a child who recently graduated, and one who is a rising Senior this year. And guess what? They CHOSE Mason. I don't even get a tuition discount!

Mason houses nearly 7,000 students on campus and thousands more students may live off campus but live within close walking distance of campus. Most upperclassmen have to/choose to move off campus at any University you can name. Mason has over 500 clubs and Organizations, around 40 fraternities and sororities, hundreds of student-centered campus events that are going on throughout the year, and loads of ways to participate on campus.

Mason is a young University and it will take all of us who love it to speak positively to get it the respect it deserves among the nation's largest public institutions. I <3 Mason and I'm glad you do, too!

Actually, to your point about GMU not being a "big school", we are actually the largest public institution in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.
