As you hang posters, set up your stereo, and put your comforter on the bed, you will be surprised at how soon you will be calling GMU home. Our Mission The Office of Housing and Residence Life strives to provide a student centered community, focused on supporting the academic mission of the University. By providing a variety of safe and comfortable living options, the Office promotes personal growth and an appreciation for diversity among residents. Our commitment to address the needs of the on campus student is also represented through supportive programming efforts and professional ethical standards. Close to 3,000 students call the residence halls at George Mason University home.
Students living on campus are generally more involved in campus activities.
We understand moving to college is a significant experience for you and your parents. It is probably the first time that you have lived on your own. The residence hall experience is designed to ease your transition from home to campus. By living on campus, you can learn to manage time effectively allowing more time for studying, pursuing co-curricular activities and enjoying friends without the hassles of commuting, contending for parking spaces, and preparing meals. You'll have resources at your fingertips.
