學生評價
好評項:
1.The weather in Fairfax is great, students get to experience the best of all four seasons.
2.Mason's proximity to Washington D.C. means there's always something to do on the weekends, plus the city provides great internship and job opportunities for students.
3.Dining-both on and off campus-provides students with plenty of different options no matter what they're in the mood for.
4.Professors at Mason are very knowledgeable about what they teach. Many have had successful careers in the subjects they teach, and some even teach and work part-time in their field.
5.An extensive transportation system exists at Mason to get students pretty much where they want to go around the area. There's a shuttle that takes students directly to the Metro, and one that circles around to area hot spots like Fair Oaks Mall.
6.Since Mason is a fairly new university, the classrooms have features that can't be found on older campuses and there is wireless Internet in a majority of the buildings on campus.
7.Mason is consistently ranked as one of the most diverse universities in the nation, so there's no better place to meet students from different backgrounds and ethnicities.

2.Parking

4.The primary freshmen housing area, Presidents Park, is a
5.Students need to beware of leaving their cars parked too long in a time-restricted space. Parking Services will ticket any cars breaking the rules, no questions asked.
6.Campus is pretty dead on the weekends, so most students head off campus to find places to drink or party.
7.Off-campus housing is expensive and commuters are hard pressed to find parking spots when they get to campus. The cheapest option is to live on campus, however there are hardly any parties on campus during the weekends.
