I just want to thank GMU for an incredible four years. I am amazed how far this university has grown over the past couple years. Can't wait to come back and visit and get some steak and shake and chipotle.

The Prince William campus is a lot better than the Fairfax location. There is more free stuff there that students can get their hands on. Since there are not as many students there, it's never crowded and the food is better.
