PHOTOS: Construction on Campus
Every morning, residential students wake up to the sound of jackhammers and bulldozers. It seems that everywhere you go on campus is within sight of another construction zone. C2M Reporter Yasmin Tadjdeh scoped out the scene and got photos from a variety of construction areas on campus, including spots near SUB I and the University Commons. Click to view them.
Patriots Look to End Losing at Trask
Road trips have not been kind to Mason this season and isn't almost fitting that they end CAA road slate with a trip to UNCW. Patriots have not won at Wilmington since January of 2004, and with the Seahawks currently holding down last place in the conference it seems like a good year to end that streak.
So you would think. At this point no Mason fan is writing off any road game early, no matter who it's against.
What To Do If You Get Waitlisted, Deferred, or Denied...
By Connect2Mason Blogger Not Your Average Admissions Blog
When it comes down to it, no admissions decision is really final, but your investment of time and energy may vary widely depending on which letter you receive.
Being deferred is generally an indication that your record is borderline for admission, and the admissions office wants to see some portion of your senior year grades and/or more recent test scores before making a decision. In that case you want to get your grades and scores as high as possible. You may also want to send a note to the office letting them know that you are really interested and that the school is your first choice, if that’s the case.

Mason failed to upset Creighton late last night in Omaha to add their first double digit loss and another road stumble to their record. Mason's formula of poor free-throw shooting and turnovers let to another demise, although at certain points they looked as if they were capable of stealing the game.
