Why Live on Campus?
Congratulations on being accepted to George Mason University! You've done the hard parts: kept your high school GPA up, became the mayor of extracurricular city, earned solid scores on your SATs, and wrote a killer essay. Now's the time to apply to live on campus.
When You're Here, You're Home
Living at George Mason University is one of the best ways to get the most out of your college experience.
As part of the on-campus community, you'll have front-door access to the best services and amenities available to Mason students.
The newly renovated Fenwick Library, multiple fitness and recreation facilities, dining, and more are just a short walk away. Want to grab some coffee at Starbucks with a friend before an all-night study marathon? The 24-hour café in Northern Neck Hall is the place to fuel your inspiration.
You'll never be late for class because you couldn't find a parking spot.
And at the end of a long and stressful week of studying, your comfy bed is a few steps away.
With free Wi-Fi, you can get ahead on next week's assignments, or maybe just relax for a while and stream a few of your favorite shows.

Ah, the sweet life. Enjoy the full campus experience by living at Mason and enjoying social gatherings like the block party in Presidents' Park.
Since the Fall of 2016, all incoming freshmen are required to live on campus unless you file for an exemption for a local commute or non-traditional student status. But chances are, you're seriously considering living here and enjoying the full college experience.
