The university offers a variety of housing options to meet the diverse needs of students living on campus. Upper-class students may choose from suites, suites with kitchens, and townhouses. Most freshmen live in traditional-style residence hall rooms that accommodate two, three, and four students. Room rates are subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board of Visitors. Rates for the 2016–17 academic year should be available on or before May 1, 2016. Please refer to the Housing and Residence Life web site for rate information. All students in housing must provide a prepayment, which is credited back to the student in the fall. Housing assignments, including single rooms, are made on a priority and space-available basis. The web site provides extensive information about housing programs and services and includes floor plans for most student rooms.
Students living on campus are required to sign an academic year agreement. Releases from the agreement are generally granted only in cases of hardship and involve a financial penalty. For more information, contact Housing and Residence Life.
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are collaborative partnerships between academic departments, individual Mason faculty, housing and residence life staff, and the division of University Life. For more information, please visit housing.gmu.edu/llc/
