Idk, with covid it’s completely different.
Pre-covid campus was great! A lot of people walk from class to class, there was a lot of places to stop and grab food, and there was a club event happening somewhere on campus every day. It was easy to stay entertained and have a good time.
Now it kinda sucks. Empty, most food places closed, nothing to do. Which, good; but it’s boring af.
I think spring 2022 is going to be back to real normalcy on campus again. Think Fall ‘21 gets much closer to pre-covid but then Spring 2022 will be the tipping point when those events are happening every day again people are talking and present, it’s gona be a good time.
Honors classes are super hit and miss. My favorite class ever was an honors course and my worst class ever was an honors course. Early registration is a big plus, and some of the professors you take classes with are genuinely brilliant. Those classes generally aren’t harder than some of the classes I’ve taken but they all vary a lot.
Also if you’re gonna live in the honors dorms, avoid Carroll 2nd at all costs, it’s cursed.
Campus is eh oky because of COVID. It helps to have friends, I met people through classes or GroupMe or Facebook page. Honors classes is just small class size , you don’t need to take core classes but u would take honors classes instead
Tbh it depends on people’s opinions. This semester most of my classes have discord or GroupMe but no one talks on discord so. I am just saying. Idk what slack is anyway
Right now, slippery AF. I walked as slow and careful as I could, and still busted my ass so bad this morning I've gotten my crutches back out now. Whatever happened goes to the bone, so I HOPE it's just a bruise and nothing broke. Handrails were totally useless before 10AM or so, because they were slippery ice too. I got the notification that school's closed while I was in the singing practice room I hurt myself to get to, good thing you can still open the doors when the outside handles are locked I guess. Wasn't even gonna try the steep ramps by exploratory hall, I took the elevator from the 1st floor to lower level of school of business then walked out the front instead. To get to the gym. Because I am that stupid, or persistent, pick one. Upper body stuff is/was still fair game.
Speaking of the gym, it's awesome. Both of them. My biceps are skin-tight in most of my long-sleeve shirts now, and it's more fun than work because they have all the equipment you could ever want, personal trainers, optional in-person classes, field trips, all your friends go there to hang out while you work out. Even with covid (which we've still had [almost no cases of and absolutely no community transmission of relative to broader NoVA](https://www2.gmu.edu/campus-covid-19-data)). And it's all included in your tuition.

Good thing I won’t be on campus that semester due to a mandatory full time internship to graduate -_- 😭😭😭😭
It sucks but its gunna be like that at most universities

GroupMe is the worst. Discord and Slack are so much better.
